　　Steamed Chicken with Preserved Meats

　　　Steamed Chicken with Preserved Meats Ingredients: 1 Chinese sausage, 1/3 piece of cured pork, 1 dried sausage, 1/4 of a free-range chicken, several shiitake mushrooms.

　　Method:

　　1. Slice the Chinese sausage, cured pork, and dried sausage, then blanch briefly in boiling water and set aside.

　　2. Cut the chicken into pieces and set aside.

　　3. Place the chicken in a pot, add the seasonings, then top with mushroom slices, ginger slices, garlic slices, and various preserved meats. Steam over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

　　Do not over-steam the chicken in an attempt to make it extra tender—this will only ruin the texture. A gentle steam for 20 minutes is sufficient.
