Ingredients
- chicken breast — 250 g
- cooked rice — 150 g (about 2/3 cup, warm)
- baby bok choy — 150 g, halved
- ginger — 4 slices + 1 tbsp grated
- scallions — 2 stalks, finely chopped
- light soy sauce — 1 tbsp
- sesame oil — 1 tsp
- salt — 1/2 tsp
Steps (beginner-friendly)
- Bring a pot of water (enough to cover the chicken) to a boil with ginger slices and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Add the chicken breast, cover, turn the heat to the LOWEST setting, and poach gently 12-15 minutes.
Tip: Poaching at low heat (barely bubbling water) is the trick to juicy chicken breast — boiling makes it tough.
