- Soft tofu (Slice into rectangles.)
- Chinese sausage (lapcheong) (Cut into coins.)
- Scallion (For topping.)
- Ginger (Listed in the source; the source does not specify how it is prepared or when it is added.)
- Light soy sauce (For the marinade.)
- Dark soy sauce (For the marinade.)
- Oyster sauce (For the marinade.)
- Sugar (For the marinade.)
- White pepper (For the marinade.)
- Cooking wine (For the marinade.)

Steps
- 1
Rehydrate the dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 20–30 minutes. Reserve the mushroom soaking water for use in the marinade rather than discarding it.
- 2
Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces, cut the rehydrated mushrooms into quarters, and cut the Chinese sausage into coins.
- 3
Combine the chicken and mushrooms in a bowl with the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper, cooking wine, reserved mushroom water, and cornstarch. Marinate for approximately 20 minutes.
- 4
Slice the soft tofu into rectangles and lay the pieces flat on a plate, creating a bed that can absorb the excess sauce.
- 5
Arrange the marinated chicken evenly over the tofu.
- 6
Arrange the Chinese sausage coins on top of the chicken.
- 7
Steam the assembled dish for approximately 20 minutes. The source notes that it was steamed for around 25 minutes as a precaution against undercooked chicken.
- 8
Top with scallions and serve with rice.
Notes
The source provides no ingredient quantities, so the recipe cannot be scaled precisely. It also lists ginger but does not specify how to prepare or incorporate it. Verify that the chicken is fully cooked before serving; the source gives an approximate steaming time rather than a measured internal temperature.
