By Aemelia

Ingredients

• 750 gm chicken (3/4 of a kampung chicken/free range chicken)
• 40 gm red dates (weighed with seeds)
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp cornstarch

• 2 Tbsp DOM

Preparation

Step 1

1. Chop chicken into small pieces.
2. Remove seeds from red dates and cut into smaller pieces.
3. Put salt and red dates into the bowl containing the chicken pieces and rub with fingers so that the flavour of the date infuses well with the chicken.
4. Put in water and cornstarch. Mix evenly.
5. Put in sesame oil. Mix.
6. Pour chicken onto steaming vessel (a slightly deep vessel so that the juices will not overflow and be wasted)
7. Pour DOM over chicken and steam for 20 minutes.
