Herbal Chicken

Published by Angeleyes at 9:56 am under Poultry, Simple Steaming

This is another of my favorite dish which I have modified from the more ‘difficult’ version. A relative taught me how to make the Emperor Chicken which uses plastic and foil to wrap up before sending it to steam.

I find the usage of plastic (the glass paper used for craft) is not a healthy choice as we are not sure if they are considered as food grade. Hence, I omitted it. Steaming the chicken the way I’m doing it now does not compromise the taste that much and it is a more healthy alternative.
