Nourishing Steamed Chicken with Ginger, Red Dates & Goji Berries
I learnt so many steamed dishes from my mom. She’ll make them when she saw I needed extra nutrition because I fell sick often when I was younger. Now I look forward to having them at home as part of self-care, especially after that time of the month. The golden combination of ginger, red dates & goji berries replenishes our bodies as women!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes (increase with more servings)
Serves: 1
Ingredients
200g chicken thighs
2 red dates, pitted & halved
1 garlic, sliced
1 tbsp of ginger slices, more if you like
3/4 tbsp Hua tiao wine
3/4 - 1 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 - 1 tsp sugar
Handful of goji berries
Method
Cut chicken thighs into strips, I like mine without bones and skin
Add all ingredients to a steaming bowl, except goji berries
You may let everything marinade for 10 to 15 minutes, but I’m usually time-starved so I just steam right away.
After 20 minutes, I add goji berries and check if the chicken is cooked through
Serve with a side of rice!
