Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup White rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 inches Fresh ginger
- 2 pieces Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 handful Cilantro leaves
Instructions
Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
In a small pot, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts gently with a meat mallet to achieve even thickness. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Set up a steamer or steaming rack over a pot of boiling water. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Prepare the ginger dressing by peeling and finely grating the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic. In a small heatproof bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sugar.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small pan until it begins to shimmer. Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger-garlic mixture to release the aromatics. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Thinly slice the green onions and use as a garnish. Wash and roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
To serve, divide the cooked rice between two plates. Arrange the steamed chicken slices on top of the rice. Drizzle generously with the ginger dressing. Garnish with green onions and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy this fragrant dish.
