Ingredients
- 6 boneless chicken thighs skin-on or skinless both work
Braising Sauce
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine or dry sherry wine
- ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or white pepper
Instructions
- Chop chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces or ¼-inch thin strips.
- In a large bowl, combine the braising sauce ingredients. Mix in the chicken pieces.
- Pour chicken and the sauce into deep plate that is suitable for steaming. Set aside.
- Fill a large wok or large pan halfway with water and place a wire rack into the center of it. If you have a bamboo steamer, you can use that instead. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once it reaches boiling point, carefully lower the bowl of chicken onto the wire rack or into the steamer using oven mitts to avoid burning yourself.
- Cover and steam chicken for 20-25 minutes on medium high heat until you reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F with a digital instant read thermometer or until juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from steamer with oven mitts and serve!
