What a nice surprise! Steamed chicken is flavorful Steamed chicken is not the kind of dish that makes my mouth water. It sounds like bland diet food, better spoon-fed to someone feeling under the weather. But recently, I came across a recipe for sake-steamed chicken on Japanesefood report.com , a website with recipes and techniques on how to cook Japanese cuisine, by Harris Salat. Why Didn’t I Think of This Snack Bowl?
