Steamed Chicken with Scallions and Ginger​

Ingredients:​

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• 2-3 scallions (green onions), chopped (reserve some for garnish)
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the chicken:
   • If using breasts, consider cutting them into smaller pieces for more even cooking.
   • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Marinate:
   • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine. Add the sliced ginger and half of the chopped scallions.
   • Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes.
3. Set up for steaming:
   • Fill a pot or steamer with water and bring it to a simmer.
   • Place the marinated chicken in a heatproof dish that fits in your steamer. Scatter the remaining scallions and a few slices of ginger on top of the chicken.
4. Steam the chicken:
   • Place the dish in the steamer and cover. Steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
5. Serve:
   • Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional scallions if desired.
   • Serve with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!

This dish is light, fragrant, and pairs beautifully with the simplicity of steamed rice. Enjoy!
