Ingredients
  • 164.6 g Chicken breast, raw
  • 214.5 g Rice, white, long-grain, cooked
  • 205.9 g Broccoli, raw
  • 128.7 g Spinach, raw
  • 7.5 g Almonds, sliced
Method
  1. 01Bring 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.
  2. 02Steam the broccoli and spinach in a bamboo basket or colander over the poaching liquid until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
  3. 03Use a portion of the fragrant poaching liquid to cook the long-grain rice, infusing it with ginger essence.
  4. 04Slice the chicken into thin diagonal strips.
  5. 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.
