The discovery of steam cooking

For a long time I have had the strangest relationship with cooking. I don't particularly enjoy cooking in everyday life, however I do enjoy trying out all kinds of stuff in the kitchen. The process should be easy, quick, with maximum results. This year we got ourselves a slow (the irony - ha ha) cooker, it checks all the boxes: prep time is minimal and results are usuall great!
Inspiration for recipes I get from watching Masterchef (mainly Australia) and the 24kitchen channel. Earlier I have tried out Gary Mehigan's Osso Bucco recipe (we thought it was nice, but not spectacular), and last week got inspired by Jamie Oliver's Coconut Buns with Chicken in Hoisin sauce (presented in his 15 minute meals programme).

Even though I don't like the taste of coconut, I had to try this out: it's a new way of cooking (exciting), it's easy ánd quick - checking all the boxes! So the next day, we headed of to our nearest oriental supermarket for steaming baskets and hoisin sauce, and I found myself steaming Hoisin chicken. Jamie didn't lie, it was very tasty, and easy, and quick. So there'll be more steamed food tonight: lemon chicken. If that works out I will continue my search for more recipes. Any suggestions for steamed or slow cooked food recipes that work well are always welcome.
