TASTY STEAMED CHICKEN

This is one steamed chicken recipe which I found while clearing my file.  During my younger days [when I don't have a kitchen of my own], I used to collect easy recipes that I  came across, having in mind that I will prepare them when I have a kitchen all to myself.

I love trying new dishes but my mom and mother in-law are quite 'conservative' about trying new recipes or even new methods of food preparation.  They still prefer their old ways while I love to cut short and make things easy, after all, these days, we can't afford to waste much time as there are ample things in life to do. 

Anyway, back to this dish, it is easy and simple.  Just mix ingredients with the seasoning, arrange them in a steaming bowl or plate and then steam to cook.  One aromatic, nutritious and tasty dish waiting to be savour....The ingredients absorbed the tasty flavours of the seasoning when steamed.
