Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 4 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. This will allow them to cook evenly and quickly.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

Cut the green onions into 2-inch pieces, separating the white parts from the green tops.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Place the sliced chicken in the soy sauce mixture and toss to thoroughly coat the chicken with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 6

Prepare your bamboo steamer by adding 2 cups of water to a wok or large pan. Place the steamer over the water, ensuring it does not touch the water surface.

Step 7

Line the bottom of the bamboo steamer with ginger slices and the white parts of the green onions.

Step 8

Place the marinated chicken strips on top of the ginger and green onion in the steamer, spreading them out evenly.

Step 9

Cover the bamboo steamer with its lid and place it over the boiling water.

Step 10

Steam the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the steamer and garnish with the green tops of the green onions before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately alongside steamed rice or your choice of side.
