Instructions
Marinate the chicken
Wash and dice the chicken breast. Add the light soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and the cooking wine, mix well by hand, marinate for 10 minutes, and set aside.
Prepare the supporting ingredients
Dice the Chinese sausage. Wash the shiitake mushrooms, remove the stems, and dice them. Peel, wash, and dice the spring bamboo shoots. Rinse the glutinous rice and set aside.
Fill the tubes and steam
Combine all the ingredients with the glutinous rice and stir until evenly mixed. Spoon the mixture into the cleaned bamboo tubes, add an appropriate amount of warm water, and seal the openings of the tubes with a thermos stopper or corn husk. Place the tubes in a steamer, add water to about half the pot, and steam over high heat for 30 minutes.
