Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Submerge chicken breasts, then reduce heat to medium-low so water barely simmers.
Step 2
While chicken cooks, rinse rice and cook in a separate pot with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt until tender, ~15 minutes.
Step 3
Poach chicken 12–14 minutes until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Remove and let cool 2 minutes, then slice against the grain.
Step 4
Mix minced ginger, chopped scallions, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oil, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top with chicken slices and cucumber. Drizzle ginger-scallion sauce and chili oil over the chicken.
Step 6
Serve with small bowls of soy sauce and extra chili oil on the side for dipping.
