Ingredients

Bowl

  • 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, sliced
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons crispy fried onions
  • 2 tablespoons crispy garlic chips
  • 4 heads baby bok choy about 1 pound, trimmed and halved horizontally
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 1 large Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly pepper to taste

Sweet Soy Sauce (optional)

  • 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1½ tablespoons soybean paste
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 1½ tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan, add the ginger and ½ cup scallions, and cover with chicken stock. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce to low, cover partially, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let cool slightly before slicing or shredding.

Cook the rice according to the package instructions and stir in the sesame oil, sugar, fried onions, and garlic chips.
3
Meanwhile, place a steamer basket in a pot filled with 2 inches of water. Add the bok choy and bring to a simmer, covered. Steam for about 6 minutes, or until the base of the bok choy is just tender.
4
Whisk together all the sweet soy sauce sauce ingredients until well combined.
5
Divide the rice, chicken, bok choy, and cucumbers between serving bowls. Scatter the scallions and cilantro on top and drizzle with the sauce.
