Steamed Herbal Chicken in Mini Porcelain Pot

One year back, when I was shopping for my new home, I walked into Daiso (A shop in Singapore that sells every item at $2) and saw this mini porcelain pot. I fall in love with it as it is so cute. It stands at a height of approx 12cm and with a diameter of 8cm, with a cover. Not knowing what to do with it, I still bought 2 sets as it is too cheap and cute to resist.

It is until today when I am cracking my brain what to cook for the night and I happened to see these 2 cutie pots in my kitchen cabinet. I decided that I should use them today!

I used the mini pots to steam herbal chicken. One pot to serve a person. And the recipe that I have shared below is meant for a person.

Do not hestitate to try this recipe, even if you do not have the same mini pot. You can simply use an Aluminium foil and wrapping it up for the same effect. Remember to multiple the quantity of the ingredients according to the number of person you are cooking for.
