Quick Scallion Sauce Steamed Chicken

Why you'll love this recipe

• The heavy use of ginger makes this a warming, "healing" dish that is perfect for colder months or when feeling under the weather.
• Cubing the chicken allows the ginger-soy marinade to coat more surface area, delivering flavor in every forkful.
• It’s incredibly fast, taking only 25 minutes from prep to plate.

Key Ingredients

• Oyster Sauce: Adds a thick, syrupy consistency to the marinade that helps the ginger aromatics "stick" to the chicken.
• Cornstarch: Helps the chicken retain its moisture during the 25-minute steaming process, ensuring a silky mouthfeel.
• Fresh Ginger: Slicing it very thin allows it to soften during steaming, so it can be eaten along with the chicken for a spicy kick.

✅Quick Tips: Slice your ginger as thin as possible (matchstick size) to ensure it cooks through and becomes tender during the steam.

Key Steps

• #1: Combine the cubed chicken with the ginger marinade immediately to let the flavors start working.

• #2: Steam on high for 15min, then turn to mid heat for 10 minutes ; the high heat is necessary to break down the ginger fibers.

#3: Make the scallion sauce and pour that over the chicken to complete the dish
