20 mins prepServes 4
White cut chicken with ginger scallion oil is one of our favorites! This classic Chinese dish features a whole chicken poached to perfection and served with a flavorful, aromatic ginger scallion oil.
WHITE CUT CHICKEN:
1. Clean the chicken & remove the innards.
2. Boil water and add 3-5 stalks of scallions, 5-6 slices of ginger, and 1/2 cup of salt.
3. Put the chicken in the boiling water. Dunk the chicken in & pull it out. Repeat 3x, so the hot water fills the cavity, ensuring the inside and outside is cooked thoroughly.
4. Bring it back to a boil, and turn the heat to the lowest setting, making sure it doesn’t boil again.
5. Soak it for 30 minutes or until cooked.
6. Remove the chicken, and run it under cold water.
7. Let it cool, and then, cut into small pieces. Plate it.
GINGER SCALLION OIL:
Combine 1/2 cup of minced ginger, 2 stalks of scallions, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of dried ginger powder in a heatproof bowl. Carefully pour 3/4 cup of hot oil over the mixture and stir well.
Serve the ginger scallion oil with the cut white chicken. Enjoy! 😋
