Steamed Rice with Chinese Sausage and Chicken

I bought a recipe book recently : Ultimate Guide to Steam Cooking.

Well, I'm suddenly into eating steamed food as well and also because my hubby would always say "When are you going to cook some Chinese dishes?"

So out of the 80 recipes that was featured in the recipe book. I chose to make an "all-in-one" dish. My son is a picky eater. He likes his food to be flavorful, not too much and not too plain.

 I added some chinese celery on top of the rice as the boy loves the taste of chinese celery.

It was a success! :D Hubby and son enjoyed eating it.

Here's the recipe:
(adapted from Ultimate Guide to Steam Cooking: Easy and Healthy Recipes)

Ingredients:
1 rice measuring cup rice
1 rice measuring cup water
1 Chinese Sausage
1 chicken thigh
some shredded ginger

Marinade:
1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp olive oil
dash of pepper
1/2 tsp potato startch (I used corn startch instead)

Method:
1. Rinse chicken and remove the bones. Cut into thumbsized pieces. Remove casing from the Chinese sausage and cut into slices. Combine well chicken, ginger and marinade, set aside for about 15 minutes.
2. Rinse rice and soak in 1 cup of water for about 15 minutes. Pour rice together with the soaking water into a steaming bowl and add 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Steam for about 15 minutes until the rice has absorbed all the water.
3. Add chicken and chinese sausage, put the lid on and continue to steam for about 15 minutes.

*If you wish to make this dish but can't have pork, just omit the chinese sausage. :)

Enjoy!
