1

Chop half the spring onions into 3cm pieces. Finely slice the remaining and set aside.

2

Crush the garlic cloves and dice the onion. Slice the ginger into thin matchsticks, reserving some for serving.

3

In a saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic and ginger until translucent and fragrant. Add the stock, soy sauce and the larger spring onion pieces, then bring to a gentle simmer. Gently add the chicken breasts to the simmering liquid and poach for approx. 10–12 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool slightly.

4

Heat the rice according to package instructions and divide it between two bowls.

5

Slice the chicken and arrange it over the top. Ladle the ginger broth over the chicken and rice, then scatter over the reserved spring onions, ginger, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh coriander.

6

Serve immediately.
