    Steamed Soy Ginger Chicken. Delicious, savoury and very easy to make! This is seasoned with soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil. It's a great side dish to white rice and some leafy greens.

    I love this recipe for my soy ginger chicken thighs so much. It's so simple and delicious and one that I grew up on as a young girl. My mother would always cook it for us using different parts of the chicken, such as the wings or thighs. 

    In Asian cuisine, we usually a well-marinated protein, some type of vegetable usually leafy greens with some rice and soup. It keeps things simple and quick.

    In fact every single meal I had with my family when I was little always started off with a light clear broth soup. Followed by the main course which was communally shared in our family. There was also always leftovers for the next day, which was always a plus!
