Steamed Chicken Legs and Chinese Sausages
Hello everybody
I am going to share with you "Steamed Chicken Legs and Chinese Sausages"
Here 2 chicken legs are used for this dish
Fried tofu puffs 100 grams
About half a pack of this
2 Chinese sausages will be used
Chinese sausages are a flavour I want to have for a long time
It is not easy to look for them
A few days ago I bought this bag Chinese sausages manufactured in Canada from an Asian supermarket
Add in a little salt to the water
Soak the chicken legs in this light brine for half an hour
To remove the blood
There are still some feathers remained on these British chicken
Pluck them away patiently
Or tear away the chicken skin directly
I steam the chicken meat only
The bones will be for soup preparation
Alternatively you can steam it with bone
This is alright
Marinate the chicken
Squeeze a bit of ginger juice
Minced garlic
A bit of pepper powder
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
About 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
May be used oyster sauce instead
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
A bit of cooking oil
Marinate for 30 minutes
Normally these tofu puffs are not deep-fried in excellent quality oil
The oily surfaces
During the packaging and transit
Are likely to stick some dust
So to clean the puffs thoroughly
Make sure that oil and dust adhered on surfaces are cleaned
There are two approaches
The first one is to pour in some hot water for washing
The other way is to blanch the puffs
Blanch for 1 to 2 minutes
Scoop out and wash
Blanching or washing with hot water
Both methods can do
The surface of these Chinese sausages are also oily
Wash them with hot water
Mix the cut Chinese sausages with the chicken parts
Flatten on the plate and do not overlap
Add in some shredded ginger
If a gas cooker is employed
Steam for 8-10 minutes at high heat
The electric cooker I used is not of strong power
Maybe steam 12 minutes
The steaming time is depending on the power of the cooker and is at its discretion
Let me taste it
I'd probably eaten all 😅
