Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer with a thumb-sized piece of ginger and a stalk of bruised lemongrass. Carefully slide the chicken breast in and poach for 12-15 minutes until the center is just opaque and juicy. Remove and rest.

Steam the broccoli and spinach in a bamboo basket or colander over the poaching liquid until vibrant green and tender-crisp.

Use a portion of the fragrant poaching liquid to cook the long-grain rice, infusing it with ginger essence.

Slice the chicken into thin diagonal strips.

To plate, mound the ginger-infused rice into a bowl, layer the sliced chicken alongside the steamed broccoli and spinach, and top with the toasted sliced almonds for crunch. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dash of fish sauce to brighten the flavors.
