STEAMED CHICKEN WITH WOOD EAR MUSHROOM, SHIITAKE + DAYLILIES

IMG_5865.jpeg

Steamed chicken with wood ear mushrooms, shiitake and daylily bulbs is a classic homestyle Chinese dish that is quick, simple and flavorful. I usually prepare everything the night before or earlier in the day. I combine all the ingredients in a heatproof dish, cover and refrigerate. When I’m ready to cook, place it in a steamer (or set Instant pot to steam mode), set the timer and lunch or dinner is ready in 20 minutes or less.

A little note: Squash blossoms are great substitute for day lilies. This dish is versatile and will still taste great if I happened to leave an ingredient or two out. That has happened more often than not.

Do you make your own spice blend or buy them? Some Do you make your own spice blend or buy them? Some blends, I like to make our own like taco seasoning. The store bought blend is usually too spicy for the kids and I can control the amount of heat better if we make our own. One of favorite blend to buy is shawarma. I just toss a tbsp full of it, 1 tsp salt and a cup of yogurt to marinate chicken for at least an hr. For large batch I double the ingredients and grill on our smokeless indoor grill. Otherwise it just go into the air fryer. #easymeals #easydinnerideas #simplemeals #fastfoodathome #busymommeals #dietitianeats #miamimom #miamimoms #homecooking
