The method

01

Cut chicken into cubes. Slice the ginger and cut red dates into halves, removing the seeds.

02

In a mixing bowl, combine the sauces, dates, goji berries and ginger. Massage everything into the chicken for 2-3 minutes until well coated. Marinate for 10 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.

03

Rinse and chop napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

04

In a deep heatproof dish, add napa cabbage at the bottom, layer enoki mushrooms, then the marinated chicken along with the dates, berries and ginger on top.

05

Bring water to a boil in a steamer or large pot with a steaming rack. Once boiling, place the dish inside and cover for 20-25 minutes.

06

Serve hot with rice.
