Ginger and Scallion Steamed Chicken

Step 1

Pat the 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry and rub with 1 tsp salt. Place in a shallow heatproof dish that fits in your steamer.

Step 2

Scatter 2 inches of sliced ginger, 4 scallion pieces, and 2 tbsp goji berries over the chicken. Pour 0.5 cup water around the chicken.

Step 3

Set up a steamer with water boiling. Place the dish in, cover, and steam over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully remove the dish from the steamer. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or chop into serving pieces.

Step 5

Pour the steaming juices from the dish into a small saucepan. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp sesame oil, and bring to a simmer over medium heat, about 2 minutes, until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with extra sliced scallions if you like. Serve hot with rice.

Step 7

Enjoy your fragrant, tender steamed chicken!
