Steamed Chicken with Chinese Sausage Shiitake Mushrooms
This delicate Cantonese dish is no trouble at all to make. All you need to do is cut up chicken thighs, Chinese sausage and mushrooms, mix them with a few seasonings and steam for 15 minutes. The chicken retains a silky tenderness and the sausage and mushrooms impart a heady hit of umami.
