Steaming is an ideal method for cooking tender pieces of poultry breast, especially if they have been marinated beforehand in Chinese- or Japanese-style sauces.
You can use a traditional metal steamer that fits on top of a saucepan, or a modern electric one, but perhaps the most attractive way to steam is using an oriental bamboo steamer that fits into a wok.
