My late mother was a professional baker and a tremendous home chef. While she cooked a wide variety of dishes, it's her Jamaican style Hakka Chinese dishes that I enjoyed the most.
This Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Water Lily Buds, aka Dung Gu and Gim Jim, is a variation of two of those dishes, combining both.
Traditionally, Chicken with Dung Gu is one dish, and Chicken with Gim Jim is another, with the former usually being cooked whole, pot roast style, before being chopped up and served on top of the gim jim
Although my version wasn't quite as good as Mom's, it did turn out really good. There really isn't anything as good as Mom's cooking. I love you, Mom.
