STEAMED CHICKEN

Here's another one quick, easy and convinient recipe for chicken. Main ingredients are easy to find in every supermarket here in Europe. Normally I use chili pepper to give a bit of a zing to it, but I put bell pepper instead 'cause I'm going to serve it with my "no chili" friend😉😜!Eat this with fluffy boiled jasmine rice.

you will need:

500g chicken legs (cut into 2-3 inch portions)
1 tbsp. fermented black beans(chopped)
3 cloves of garlic(chopped)
half of a medium bell pepper or 1 finger chili if you want it a bit hot
1 tbsp. dark soy sauce
2 tbsp. light soy sauce
2 tbsp. rice vinegar or any vinegar you have
half a tsp. brown or demerara sugar
1 tspnful of corn flour
pinch of salt and ground black pepper
 
chopped coriander leaves and spring onion to garnish


procedure:

Clean and wash the chicken removing excess fats, drain it nicely. Mix all the 
ingredients except the garnish. Put the prepared meat in a heat proof dish for steaming later. Set aside while preparing your steamer to boil, then steam the chicken when it's ready, put the lid on nicely. Leave it for 25-30 mins. Garnish with your chopped coriander leaves and spring onions then serve.
