    Easy, light and super healthy steamed chicken with wood ear mushroom and dried lily flower. This dish might be quite strange if you never tried. Sounds quite plain but it has a lovely light flavor and crunchy texture.

    What's wood ear mushrooms

    Wood ear mushroom (木耳) is a very popular ingredient in Chinese cuisine. It is super beneficial to our body. It is widely loved because of the either crunchy or soft (after long time stewing) texture.

    What's Dried Lily flower

    Dried lily flower also known as dried golden needle. It has a lovely yellow color and a dedicate light musky aroma. It is widely used in soups, stews and moo shu dishes.

    Steamed chicken is one of my favorite dish in hot summer days. One of my quickest and top version is to steam chicken only with ginger and scallion. With this larger chunk or whole chicken, no starch is added so they have stronger flavor from the original chicken. Sometimes, chicken, usually small pieces, are steamed with starch coated and presents a more tender texture like steamed chicken with black bean sauce. They are two methods usually loved in my kitchen. What's your favorite way?

    Ingredients

    You can add some chopped red chili pepper and green onion to decorate and enhance the flavor. But the dish itself is good enough especially the juice.
