srsly can we get the recipe for this one? Some of us aren't lucky enough to have a cantonese mama
you got it. this is what I did.
I used 2 thighs. I took out the bone and ripped off the skin. cut it up into chopstick eating sized pieces.
marinate them:
tablespoon of soy sauce
teaspoon of sesame oil
tablespoon of Shauxing cooking wine (I just butchered the spelling)...Sherry totally works.
some white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
I would guess 3/4 tablespoon of cornstarch.
I put in one cube of chicken bullion as a cheat.
garlic, and chopped tiny ginger, and chopped tiny (white parts only) green onion.
while that sits for 20 minutes.
chop up two Chinese sausage sticks into biased slices.
slice up 3 rehydrated Chinese mushrooms
optional: slice up about three fingers worth of Wood Ear mushrooms...
rough chop up 3 fingers worth of lily flower petals. (optional maybe)
the mandatory are Chinese sausage, mushrooms, and the chicken...never tried fresh shiitake, but I gotta think it would work.
now dump in the new chopped mushrooms into the marinated chicken (if it looks dryish..dump in some of the water you soaked the mushrooms in- just to wet it up).. spread it out onto a shallow dish, and put it into a steamer for 15 minutes. done. sprinkle on the green parts of the green onion you took the white parts from.
