- 1 small daikon, (2 cups)
- 2 pcs marinated bean curd

- 2 tsp rice wine

- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions for making Steamed Chicken with Mushroom and Vegetables
Soak 4 pieces of dried shiitake mushroom in water for an hour. After 1 hour, squeeze all the water out and save the mushroom juice. We will need 2 tbsp of juice for steaming later.
Cut 3 slices of ginger
Mash and slice 1 clove of garlic
Coarsely chop 2 stalks of green onion
Cut the carrot into big chunk, about ½” wide
Cut the daikon radish into 1/2″ wide
Cut the bean curd into cubes. I cut each piece into fourth, so I have total of 8 cubes of bean curd.
In a clean bowl, add 6 pieces of chicken, ginger, garlic, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tsp of rice wine, and 1/2 tsp of sugar. Mix well and make sure the seasonings evenly coat the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
In a serving bowl, add the daikon, shiitake mushrooms, carrot, bean curd, green onion, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tsp of sesame oil, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 2 tbsp of mushroom juice then mix them well. Next, add the marinated chicken on the top and make sure to also pour all the remaining marinade into the bowl
When your steaming water is boiling, place the bowl in and steam this dish for 45 minutes or longer if you prefer softer daikon. After 45 minutes, the dish is ready. If you use a serving bowl to steam, you can simply remove the bowl from the steamer and serve it on the table right away with some rice. Or you can transfer the dish to another bowl of your choice.
