Steamed Chicken

If too busy to cook healthy food every day, then at least one day each week try to prepare and easy healthy meal for your loved ones as this recipe will demonstrate. This is actually a copy cat of the well-known Dim Sum steamed spare ribs with black beans served at the Dim Sum time in restaurants. I use chicken breasts for this recipe because of my family’s diet. The marinade can be used for pork or chicken. It is a simple and tasty recipe.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, cubed

Marinade ingredients:

2 tsp black bean powder

2 tbs soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp honey

1/8 tsp white pepper

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp minced fresh ginger

2 tsp peanut oil

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornstarch

Garnish with chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper (optional)

Directions:

Wash and then cube the chicken.Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well.

Pour the marinade onto the cubed chicken and stir well to coat. Let marinate for a few hours.

Fill with water the steamer or a pot with a steam rack.

Place marinated cubed chicken into individual serving bowls and steam the chicken for 20 minutes. Add the chopped red bell pepper and green onions.

 Cover and steam for a few seconds. Serve the steamed chicken by itself, as in a Dim Sum restaurant, or with sticky rice.
