beggar's chooks

It has been awhile since Mr H cooked this dish.... the beggar chicken can be steamed or baked as below....

• 1 whole chicken
• all kind of fungi - champignon, straw mushroom, chinese mushroom
• water chestnut
• sesame oil
• chopped garlic
• salt and pepper

Mix them all in a bowl (except the chicken of course!!).....Washed and pat dry the chicken, stuff the chicken's cavity with the stuffing... Wrap with aluminium foil then with dough. Bake for 2 hours at 200C.

For the dough: Mix flour and water and roll out into a pastry enough to wrap the whole chicken
