Method

  1. Put the chicken, a splash of soy sauce, the garlic, ginger, chilli, spring onion and a few drops of sesame oil on a plate that will fit in a steamer basket.
  2. Put the rice in a saucepan, add enough water to come 2cm above the top of the rice and bring to the boil. Set the steamer above the rice, cover and steam for about 8 minutes; the chicken should feel springy to the touch. Take the steamer off and continue cooking the rice until it is done, about 2-3 minutes. Drain any excess water. Slice the chicken and serve it and its juices with the rice.
