Every time when I came back from a short holiday to my hometown, I have to take some time to settle down with my emotion, but this time is so much better as I have Simon with me. At least I don't feel lonely during on board. As usual my two sisters will prepare some food to bring back with me. This time I have got some dumplings......my favorite, which I have missed out for almost two years. One thing that we enjoy the most during the trip were the fabulous food. No matter is home cooked food that prepared my eldest sister or outside local food. My sister is also great cook, could be inherited from my late mom.
Talking about my mom's recipes I have this recipe for so long and had inspired me to try this out and share with all of you, that is Steamed Ginger Chicken with Mushroom. Steaming is always a wonderful way of enhancing the taste, texture, color and nutritional value of the food, so do this recipe.
I have modified a little on the marinade from the original ingredients. I have added in with some ginger juice to enhance the ginger taste in the chicken. I also have used some Chinese wine when I steam the chicken. There are few important steps that need your attention and there are the timing of steaming, it should not over cooked. This gives you the smoothness of meat. Of course you also need to use a real quality fresh chicken as this will give you a perfect taste of the chicken essence. This definitely a healthy and yet easy to prepare dish that suitable to everyone at home.
