Steamed Chicken with Black Fungus

I have eaten this dish at foodcourt before and really very keen to try cooking it myself.  I have been goggling for recipe to try out and finally decided to follow the recipe by Christine's recipe blog.  No regret as it is really good!!!

Recipe adapted from http://en.christinesrecipes.com

Ingredient:

3 Chicken thigh, chopped

Some fresh black fungus, wash and cut into small pieces

5 red dates

1-2 mushroom

Some shredded ginger

Diced spring onion, for garnish

Seasonings:

3 tsp light soy sauce

½ tsp dark soy sauce

1 Tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp shaoxing wine

1 tsp cornflour/corn starch

1 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp salt

white pepper, to taste

sesame oil,to taste

Method:

1. Rinse the chicken parts and wipe dry with paper towels. Mix well with the seasoning.  Cover and let it rest for 20 mins.

2. Soak red dates and mushroom separately until softened.  Cut red dates into half and mushroom into slices. Mix into the marinated chicken and add the shredded ginger.

3. Steam the chicken in wok over high heat with a lid on, for about 20 mins or until cooked through.  If there is no more blood seen on the chicken, it's done.  Garnish with spring onion and serve.
