SERVES: 2
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
Ingredients
340g (12oz) skinless boneless chicken thighs, cubed
5 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 2 hours
1 tsp (5ml) grated gingerroot
2 tsp (10ml) arrowroot starch
2 tsp (10ml) coconut aminos
1 tsp (5ml) molasses
Pinch ground white pepper (optional)
1 tbsp (15ml) green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
1) Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms, and discard the stems. Reserve the water.
2) Place the chicken chunks in a bowl. Add in the sliced mushrooms, ginger, arrowroot starch, coconut aminos, molasses, white pepper and 3 tablespoons of the mushroom water. Mix well. Transfer chicken mixture into a shallow dish. Let it marinate for 15 minutes before steaming.
3) Fill a steamer with enough water to steam continuously for 10 minutes without evaporating. Bring to a rolling boil and steam the chicken for 10 minutes.
4) Turn off the heat, and leave the chicken in the steamer for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve immediately with cauliflower rice.
