Steamed Chicken With Mushrooms And Chinese Sausage Recipes

STEAMED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cornstarch, soy, dry sherry, molasses, salt, oil. Stir to combine very well, add chicken, mix all together, cover and refrigerate.
• Put mushrooms in a heatproof bowl, pour boiling water to cover. Cool, squeeze out excess moisture, cut away roots, slice in half.
• To assemble-may be done the day before. In an attractive 9" diameter heatproof platter with sides, spread the chicken in an attractive layer. Then make a circle near the outside with the sausage. Make a circle of mushrooms an inch in from the sausage. Repeat till you have no more sausage or mushrooms.(I don't like putting plastic wrap or aluminum directly on food. Here, make a 9" circle of wax or parchment paper, spread over the chicken and sausage, then cover with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator.)
• In a Chinese steamer with at least 5" of boiling water in the bottom, place the top level of the steamer, with the uncovered chicken sausage platter. Steam strongly for 1 ½ hours. Carefully remove the chicken platter and serve it on an adequate-size, stable trivet.
• Decorate when you put dish out, with shredded scallion greens and, if you like, cilantro leaves.
