Steamed Chicken (aka Pak Zham Kai)



This finger-lickin dish is one of my favourites. Yet, it is simple and very very very easy to cook. You can even cook it together with your rice by using the rice cooker. Once the rice is ready, the chicken will be ready at the same time ..."kill two birds with one stone" ..!!! hehe...

Moreover, the natural assence that came out from the chicken, have lots of nutritional value and delicious. The main one is it acts as tonic and rejuvenate our body. It is also known for mental alertness.

Please find below for my recipe :

Ingredients
  1. 1 piece of chicken (preferred drumstick)
  2. fried garlic oil
  3. salt to taste

Steps

  1. Remove and discard the skin from chicken.
  2. Bring 400 ml water to boil in a pot and add in the chicken.
  3. About 3-4 minutes later, remove the chicken and discard the water. This is to remove the unpleasant smell.
  4. Marinate the chicken with salt
  5. Put the chicken in an aluminium plate and put it on top of your rice in the rice cooker. (I would prefer to cook in this way, as I need not to monitor it.)

Note : There is no need to watch the rice cooker since it has the automatic timer that click when the rice is ready.

When there is a "Click" sound, it means your rice and chicken are ready..!!!! Just add in some fried garlic oil to the chicken to enhance the fragrant....It is nicer to enjoy while it is still hot...
