This Steamed Chicken with Ginger Paste is warm and comforting. It’s fragrant, with a rich ginger aroma and umami flavours from the sauce. I make this when I want something cosy and flavourful, without too much effort.
It’s also a great option for a healthier meal—not oily, and it retains nutrients while steaming. Plus, ginger is believed to help keep the body warm and aid digestion and circulation, making it extra nourishing.
This dish is convenient on busy weeknights because it comes together quickly with just a few ingredients. You can steam it while prepping rice and vegetables on the side.
Pair it with plain white rice, a quick stir-fried green like choy sum or spinach, and maybe a simple soup if you have time. It’s a balanced, satisfying meal that doesn’t take much to pull together.
If you’ve never tried making this at home, I hope this recipe shows you just how easy and satisfying it can be.
