- 04Slice the chicken into thin diagonal strips.
- 05To 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.
