Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes until rehydrated. Squeeze out excess water, remove tough stems, and slice thinly. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquid.

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with oyster sauce, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, sugar, salt, minced ginger, minced garlic, and the white parts of the scallions. Mix well to marinate the chicken.

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and the reserved mushroom soaking liquid to the marinated chicken. Mix everything together. You can marinate for longer (up to overnight) for deeper flavor, or proceed to steam immediately.

Arrange the marinated chicken and mushroom mixture evenly on a heatproof plate suitable for steaming. Top with the sliced Chinese sausage.

Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully place the plate of chicken into the steamer. Cover and steam over high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Once steamed, remove the plate from the steamer. Garnish with the chopped green parts of the scallions. Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice.
