Cooking Daddy: Steamed Chicken with Red Dates and Wolfberries

Cooked this for dinner yesterday. Kids didn't mind it and J like it, so this recipe is a keeper. Needs a little tweaking to make it better.

Ingredients used:
  • wolfberries (rinse and dry - instead of soak)
  • red dates (soak - remember to drain and cut)
  • 2 chicken thighs (maybe 1 more piece)
  • slices of ginger to be julienned (forgot that on my first try)
  • 1 tsp light soya sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp flour
  • white pepper to taste
Steps:
  1. Mix all ingredients together and cover to let it marinate. 
  2. Place everything in a steamer, on low for 45 minutes.
  3. Check if cooked by sticking a chopstick through the meat to see if juices run clear else continue steaming.
Notes to self:
  • 45 minutes might have been too long. Chicken was a little tough. Check in on it earlier.
  • Use a little bit more salt.
