Steamed Chicken And Bean Curd

A healthy church has a pervasive concern with church growth – not simply growing numbers but growing members. A church full of growing Christians is the kind of church growth I want as a pastor. Some today seem to think that one can be a “baby Christian” for a whole lifetime. Growth is seen to be an optional extra for particularly zealous disciples. But be very careful about taking that line of thought. Growth is a sign of life. Growing trees are living trees, and growing animals are living animals. When something stops growing, it dies.

INSTRUCTIONS

This dish looks good, tastes good and is simple to prepare. It is one
of a family of pudding-like dishes.  Preparation:  All mixing can be
done in food processor. Or, use  cleaver to finely mince chicken and
mash bean curd. In bowl, combine  egg whites, oil, ginger juice, gin,
salt, five-spice powder and  sugar; stir to breakdown egg and blend.
Add chicken and bean curd;  mix thoroughly. Dip cabbage leaves in
boiling water to make limp.  Wash and peel carrot; slice thinly on
bias.  Steaming:  Place limp leaves in shallow bowl.  Arrange carrots
on  leaves in decorative pattern.  Pack chicken/bean curd mixture
tightly  in bowl to fill it. Steam for about 40 minutes at medium boil.
Steaming will make mixture very smooth and firm (avoid over-steaming,
which causes bean curd to become dry and hard). When ready to serve,
turn out on serving platter; gently remove leaves; cover with glaze.
Glaze:  Heat stock in saucepan; when hot, add cornstarch paste to
thicken. When ready to use, reheat and add sesame oil; pour over dish.
