Ginger-poached chicken with brothy rice

Asian 10 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook


  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.
