Steamed Chicken Marinated with Ginseng Powder

Effortless cooking...Chicken marinated with ginseng powder. The slight bitterness from the ginseng powder awakening your appetite, make your saliva flows in your mouth to taste the simple and pure sweetness (with a hint of saltiness) of steamed chicken. 

Very simple to make but quite nutritious.

Ingredients:

1. 2 chicken legs 
2. Approximately 2 tbsp (I grind some ginseng root into powder for dish)
3. 1 tbsp sea salt (you can use more salt for this dish so then you can use the sauce to flavour your rice)
4. 5 tbsp sweet glutinous rice wine

Marinate the chicken pieces with ginseng powder, salt and the sweet glutinous rice wine. Set aside for at least 30mins or longer.

Once marinated, steamed the chicken over high heat boiling water until it is fully cooked.
This dish is best serves with plain white rice. Flavour the rice with the juices from the chicken...YUM! 

For the dipping sauce, mixed together the following ingredients:

1. 1 tbsp minced ginger, 
2. 2 stalks of finely chopped spring onion
3. Few crushed fresh coriander seeds (or few coriander stalks) for more intense flavour than using the leaves.
4. 1 generous tbsp light soy sauce
5. 1 tbsp sesame oil, 
6. 3 generous tbsp fried onion and the oil. (Slowly caramelised finely chopped onion in generous amount of oil)
