This is a very simple and yet appetizing dish which is popular among Chinese. I have been preparing this particular dish on and off but didn't realize that I have in fact missed out one particular important seasoning. This important ingredient is TAPIOCA FLOUR!!!! See how ignorant I am!!! Well, I should thank Y3K when I chanced upon this in the Y3K issue no. 31, page 8.

Frankly speaking, previously it never cross my mind to marinate meat with tapioca flour for steaming dish. I do use tapioca flour for other methods of cooking but why not in steaming? Still scratching my head!!! From here, you should know how good I am in cooking, right? Well, it's still better late than never!
Meat marinated in corn starch or tapioca flour is tenderer and softer and since then, corn flour plays one of the important ingredients in my kitchen!
