Steam chicken with Dang Gui Tou (当归头)

Dang Gui (当归) is highly respected in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  It is commonly used to treat women’s problem, and it might be mistakenly that only women can eat it.  Be assured that men can take it too as it generally also helps to regulate the body functions.

This is one of my favorite dish.

Ingredients

1. ½ Chicken
2. 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
3. ½  tablespoon Soya sauce
4. ½ teaspoon salt
5. ½ tablespoon rice wine (hua tiao 花雕)
6. 5 slices of Dang Gui Tou (当归头) (adjust the amount for stronger or weaker taste)

Method

1. Rub with chicken with salt, and wash and drain chicken, this will remove some unpleasant smell of the chicken.  Cut into smaller chucks.

3. Lay on steaming plate, and evenly insert the dang gui in between the chucks.
