Steamed Chicken with Pickled Mustard Root


Many housewives (like myself), when we've ran out of idea of what to cook, we will just cook whatever we found in the pantry or fridge (especially on the last day of the week when we needed to clear the fridge for new groceries), and most of the time, the newly tweaked dish will comes out tasting yummy~licious.

And this humble looking dish is the creation from my "Don't Know What To Cook?" night. It was surprisingly appetizing with a bit of savory and a hint of spiciness. I've got the inspiration from my hubby's favorite mommy's dish, Steamed Char Choy Minced Pork. Instead of minced pork, I've used chicken cubes and added some other ingredients to make it more flavorful. Actually, there are bird's eyes chillies, but because it was green color, it has sort of camouflage itselves in the dish.

My hubby love it so much that he decided that this will be our FAMILY's dish. You know, like every family will have their own tweaked recipe, so this will be OURS - The SOOs'!

Hope you'll enjoy our family's dish too!
