Banana & Lotus Leaf Steamed Chicken
when you have the best ingredients, there's no need to do much..
we snuck behind the scenes into one of Singapore’s most POPULAR private dining houses, Lucky House Cantonese Private Kitchen - to learn the ropes on how authentic AND innovative Cantonese cuisine is made. Chef Sam who runs the private home restaurant from his house at Upper East Coast Road, was gracious & generous in revealing his recipe for a very SIMPLE dish of steamed chicken, wrapped in a combination of lotus and banana leaves.
shockingly, as easy as the recipe was, the end product was a delicious dish, which Chef Sam explained, was a result of using good quality chicken in its freshest state, and letting its natural flavours shine as they are, complemented by a light treatment of basic seasoning. the use of the leaves bring a signature earthy aroma to the eating experience. the resulting juices from the steamed chicken becomes a flavourful gravy which is delightful eaten with plain white or brown rice.
