Today, I plan to prepare a simple home-cooked meal using the Chinese sausage I recently bought for the Chinese New Year celebration. I will be steaming it with chicken and dried shiitake mushrooms.
After having so much rich and extravagant food during the festival season, it would be refreshing to give our taste buds a break from the excessive stimulation.
Steamed Chinese Sausage with Chicken is a traditional everyday Chinese meal made with boneless chicken, Chinese sausage, dried shiitake mushrooms, cloud ears mushrooms, and Chinese red dates. Cantonese families have enjoyed this classic dish for generations, and I, too, have been eating it since I was young.
You should have had this dish if you grew up in a Chinese family. However, if you haven't, my family recipe is a great starting point for you to try something authentically Cantonese.
