Instructions
To Marinate the Chicken
Combine all the ingredients together well, and set aside to marinate on the counter top for 10-15 minutes.
Putting Everything Together
Sliced the carrots and onions, and add it with the chicken in the vessel you want to steam the dish in. I suggest a bowl that can hold liquid. After steaming, you'll notice the steam water has dropped some in the bowl and makes a delicious sauce on top.
Add the remaining seasoning: salt and sesame oil. Add the goji berries on top. Mix and combine everything well.
Using a regular steam:Wait until the steamer is ready and the water is boiling. Put the dish in and the lid on top. Steam on medium heat for 30-35 minutes.
Using an Instant Pot:Set machine to 'Steam' on high heat for 25 minutes. Place the steamer basket and add the dish in. Make sure you use a round high bowl as the regular flat round plates don't fit. You want to have gaps between the bowls so the steam can come up and easy access for you to lift the plate out when it is done. Put the lid on and set to 'Seal'.
When the time is up, you can release the vale. Lift the plate up, and drizzle the soy sauce on top. Serve with white rice.
