Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 1 chicken breast
- 2 slices ginger root, chopped into matchsticks
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 1 large spring onion (scallion) finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes or 1 fresh red chili, julienned
- 1 squeeze lime or lemon juice
Method
- Place the chicken breast on a piece of foil large enough to wrap the chicken in a parcel
- Lay the chicken on a bed made from half of the ingredients then scatter the remaining over the top

- I use a vegetable steamer on an upturned bowl in a large pan, but a normal Chinese steamer works ok
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and place the chicken on your steamer so it's over but not immersed in water
- Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicken properly cooked. Core of chicken breast 74° C (165° F) It will depend on the size of the chicken.
- Don't allow it to boil dry!
- Discard all but the chicken once cooked
