Ken Hom’s quick and easy steamed chicken dish is designed to be served as part of a sharing menu to celebrate Chinese New Year. Try this dish with Ken’s crispy fish spring rolls and stuffed bitter melon with black bean sauce.
Ken says: ”Chicken, a symbol of fortune, was at the centre of our Chinese New Year dinner. My mum simply steamed it with my favourite, Chinese sausages.”
