Steamed Chicken with Preserved Wet Plums

This plum chicken recipe contains preserved wet plums and preserved black beans. These ingredients perk up the steamed chicken with their sourness which is complemented by the sweetness of the chicken marinade.

This plum chicken recipe is a great companion to steamed white rice.

This dish essentially relies on the commercially available preserved wet plums and black beans, which you can easily get from local groceries in wet market or supermarket. It tastes heavenly after steaming which seamlessly harmonize both flavours.

Chicken is justifiably one of the highly consumable meats within my family, the reason is, it is low in fat, is protein rich and exceedingly versatile.
