Steamed Chicken with Gravy

A simple and easy dish to prepare for dinner. It's delicious, very tasty and it doesn't take much time to prepare. I like to steam the chicken till well done where you wont find any traces of slightly red or pinkish meat meaning that the meat is slightly undercooked. After steaming, there would be some steaming liquid in the steaming tray, this is the liquid collected from the chicken and very tasty. It is then used to cook the gravy and pour over the chicken. Delicious! Try out this simple, easy and tasty Chinese dish. Enjoy!
