Looks great man, got me motivated to try steaming stuff. How long does a spread like that usually take?

With the steaming it depends...for me no longer than 15 minutes, once the water is boiling fully

Everything looks good up there Grine

Here's a Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe I have been using for the last few years that is FIRE when you have that itch. Comes out even better than that BS fluffy breading on the frozen stuff at the corner joints. Plus, its super easy. I am usually guilty of subbing out certain things in recipes but the Apple Cider Vinegar is a MUST here if you're trying it.

Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients:
Chicken:
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup cornstarch
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup canola oil

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Place cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate bowls. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, ketchup, vinegars, soy sauce and garlic salt. Pour over chicken and bake for one hour.

Also, can't forget this gem:

TOAST SANDWICH

Toast a thin slice of bread
Butter two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste
Place the toast between the two slices of bread-and-butter to form a sandwich
