NatalieNatalie Ellis

ingredients

  • 1/4 - 1/2 oz/8-10 g dried Chinese mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp finely sliced fresh ginger
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 14 oz/450 g bok choy, ends removed and cut lengthways into quarters
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch

directions

  • 1

    Soak the dried mushrooms in 1/4 cup boiling water for 20 min. Drain and reserve the liquid. Discard the tough stalks and slice caps thinly.

  • 2

    Combine the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and ginger in a non-metallic dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hr.

  • 3

    Line a bamboo steamer with baking paper. Place the chicken on top, reserving the marinade. Bring the water to a boil in a wok, then place the steamer over the wok. Cover and steam the chicken for 6 min, then turn over and steam for a further 6 min. Place the bok choy on top of the chicken and steam 2-3 min.

  • 4

    Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade, mushrooms and their soaking liquid in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Add enough stock to the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth paste. Add the cornstarch paste and remaining stock to the pan and stir for 2 min over medium heat or until sauce thickens.

  • 5

    Place some bok choy and a chicken fillet on each plate, then pour a little sauce on top and serve.
