Fresh Shitaki Mushroom 2
Chicken Drum Stick 1 (left over with seasoning already)
Dried Scallop 2-3 or 1.5Tsp

2. Put LC16BB LC next to chop board, and put a tall water glass in the center to place winter melon cubes around the side
3. Cut winter melon into bite-size cubes and place it around the water glass inside LC16BB
4. Remove the water cup from the LC 16BB
5. Slice mushrooms and chicken meat into slices or cubes, and place them in the middle of the LC 16BB
6. Set round LC 26 on stove top, put a bamboo mat in the bottom or used the LC Cool Tool silicone mat is ok as well
7. Put LC 16BB onto the mat/silicone mat (with all ingredients except chicken broth and dried scallops) inside the round LC 26
8. Slowly pour the chicken broth into LC 16BB and cover with lid
9. Fill round LC 26 with water; 1/3 of the LC 16BB and turn on the stove to low-medium to preheat while waiting on the rehydrated scallops
10. Once the drip scallops are rehydrated from the steamer, pressed them down to separate them or hand separate them into threads.  Place the scallop threads in the center of LC 16BB
11. Cover both lids and turn heat to medium for 30mins and turn off the heat
12. Add optional cooking wine, wait for 5mins and serve

Note:  There is no oil or salt added to this recipe as the dried scallops, chicken and broth are already seasoned.  And, the chicken released of it's oil into the steaming process.  So, don't worry about there is not enough flavor.  The fresh shitaki mushroom was very refreshing and its texture is very silky.
