Steamed Chicken with Chinese Sausage & Mushroom

Steamed Chicken with Chinese Sausage & Mushroom is one of the most common dishes you’ll find in a Chinese restaurant. It’s usually a rice topping and is served with a special sauce which the waiter pours on top right after putting it on the table. This is one of those menu items that we don’t miss whenever we eat out chinese — no matter what the restaurant is.

I tried to re-create this dish at home the other day just to satisfy everyone’s craving. I know my family were craving for something like this but we just don’t have the time to go out because of our crazy schedule. Hey. don’t be fooled by the long name because it is surprisingly easy to make!

All you have to do is marinate the chicken, top it with the mushroom and chinese sausage afterwards and then off to the steamer it goes. I didn’t even have to make the special sauce anymore because it actually produced some sauce. That’s the sauce that I poured over the brown rice. It was so tasty! The chicken was very tender and the marinade actually seeped in the meat since it was cut in bite-sized pieces.

Success! Woohoo!I think this is going to be a staple here at home because of how good it taste and how easy it is to make. Perfect for busy working weekdays or jam-packed weekends.

On other news, I’m back in the gym since last week with Rome, my cousin, being my gym buddy. We were in there for a good two days last week and decided on an MWF morning schedule starting this week. I think having a gym buddy would motivate me to work out on a regular basis. Hmmm.. we’ll see.

The week’s off to a great start I believe. How’s your day?

4. Steam for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
5. Serve with steamed rice.

Notes

You can buy cooking wine in any big supermarkets like SM, Landmark, Robinsons.

As for the soy sauce, you can also use the regular variant, if you don't have dark and light soy sauce. The dark soy sauce makes it more flavorful, though.
