Spiralized sweet potato noodles138 g
Fresh ginger, minced15g
Scallions, sliced20g
Sesame oil3.0 g
Honey (added for sweetness/glaze)3.7g

Instructions

1

Prepare a bamboo steamer or a metal steamer insert over a pot of simmering water.

2

In a small bowl, mix the ginger, honey, and a dash of sesame oil to create a fragrant aromatic glaze.

3

Place the Cornish game hen meat into a shallow heat-proof dish that fits inside your steamer. Rub the ginger-honey mixture thoroughly over the meat.

4

Place the dish into the steamer, cover tightly, and steam for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

5

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the spiralized sweet potato noodles in the steamer alongside the chicken (if space allows) or briefly blanch them in the simmering water below until just tender.

6

Remove the chicken and noodles, arranging the noodles as a bed on a plate. Top with the steamed hen. Pour the flavorful steaming juices from the dish over the top.

7

Garnish generously with fresh sliced scallions for a crisp bite. Serve immediately while steaming hot.
