1tbsp.ginger shreds
1tbsp.green onion shreds(, white part)
1tbsp.light soy sauce
1tsp.Chinese cooking wine
½tsp.salt
1tbsp.oyster sauce
1tbsp.light soy sauce
4tbsp.water
1garlicclove
1tbsp.chopped green onions
1tbsp.sesame oil

Instructions

Clean the chicken and then spread the marinating sauce evenly on both sides.

Lay ginger shreds and green onion shreds over to marinate at least 30 minutes. Then place in your steamer. I am using the steamer of my electric rice cooker. If you are using a steamer with wok or pot, steam with high fire around 20 minutes until soft (or you can easily insert a chop sticker in). Transfer out and cut into chunks of your favorite size. Decorate with green onions.

Dipping sauce

In a sauce pan, heat up 1 tablespoon sesame oil and stir fry chopped garlic and green onion until aroma. And then add oyster sauce, light soy sauce and water. Mix well and bring all the content to a boiling. Transfer to dipping bowl and cool down a little bit.

Serve steamed chicken with dipping sauce.
