Ginger and Garlic Steamed Chicken

20 minutes and dinner is done. Steaming boneless chicken thighs is fast, easy and probably healthy. In 20 minutes you get tender, juicy chicken and a lovely broth. Throw it over some steamed rice and serve. I love adding a few cherry tomatoes, additional coins of ginger and star anise if i want to get a little fancy with it. If you have a couple of gyozas knocking around in your freezer, throw those in there too.

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 inch knob ginger, peeled and grated

2 garlic cloves, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Method:

Marinate chicken in soy sauce, ginger garlic and rice vinegar for at least 30 minutes but up to 24 hours.

1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, add 4 cups water, and place a veggie steamer inside. Bring to a strong simmer.

2. In a heat-safe plate, place marinated chicken and put the plate on top of the steamer.

3. Cover your pot with a lid. Let steam for 15-20 minutes.

4. In the meantime, cook rice or noodles and assemble any necessary garnishes.

5. Turn off the heat and remove the lid.

6. Serve over rice or noodles and garnish to your heart's desire
