Steamed ginger chicken
While shutting down my laptop at work today, I suddenly had a strong craving for the steamed ginger chicken served at every Chinese restaurant. Lately I've been experimenting with cooking and trying to learn how to cook all my favourite Chinese dishes, so I went over to my Chinese co-worker to see if she knew how to make it. She called her mom who was kind enough to explain how it's made.
What you'll need:
> Chicken (whole or parts)
> Soy sauce
> Ginger
> Green onions (aka Scallions)
> Cornstarch
> Salt
> Oil
How to prepare:
- Marinate chicken in soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and finely chopped ginger and green onions.
- Steam chicken on medium heat for 30 minutes.
- To make the sauce, mix chopped ginger and green onions along with salt in a bowl. Heat oil and pour in bowl. If you hear it sizzle it means the ginger and green onions are slightly cooking.
