Steamed Courgette Rings Filled with Diced Chicken and Fungus

Chicken dices are blanched and stir-fried with king oyster mushrooms, fresh black mushrooms and red capsicums and then stuffed into courgette. It is dressed with winter melon puree to become an elaborated dish of meat and vegetables.

Mr Dickson CHOW, executive chef of the Royal Plaza Hotel, said that the team intended to make a dish with rich and crispy texture but retaining the natural and delicious aroma. So they refrained from deep-frying the chicken. The mixed mushrooms enhanced the flavour of the dish.
