Step-by-step instructions for the dish “Steamed Ham in Soy Sauce”
Place the baking bag in a container for steaming dishes. Cut into thin slices or pass peeled and washed garlic through a press.
Add soy sauce to the garlic.
Wash the chicken leg thoroughly to reduce calorie content and cut off excess fat, membranes and skin. Add your favorite aromatic chicken spices to taste on both sides. I used a little bit of everything, ground black pepper, a little paprika, curry, Italian herbs, saffron, there is no need to add salt, since the dish will contain soy sauce, and it, as you know, is quite salty in itself, so it will give all the salt to the chicken leg soy sauce.
Place the chicken leg with spices in a baking bag. If the leg is too large, you can cut it into several parts, but this is purely for convenience.
We tie the baking bag on both sides with threads or special staples, and turning the leg over several times, completely distribute the garlic and soy sauce over the entire surface. In this form, we leave our delicious legs to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
After the marinating time has passed, pour hot water into the multicooker bowl (I have a Dexdmc-60 model) (this way you will save cooking time, since the multicooker will start cooking almost immediately and will not waste time heating the water). Place the container with the leg on top. Make one small cut in the baking bag with a toothpick, for example, since it can swell up greatly and make it difficult to open the multicooker lid. Set the “Steam” mode, cooking time – 30 minutes. After the beep sounds indicating the completion of work, open the lid of the multicooker and remove the steamer container. Carefully cut the baking bag and remove the leg, and the sauce, along with the released juice, can be poured into a gravy boat and served with a side dish.
Chicken in a baking bag, and even in such a gentle mode, will provide you with a healthy, spicy and juicy dish.
Bon appetit!
