Ginger Scallion Chicken

姜葱鸡

Ginger Scallion Chicken — a Cantonese Chinese recipe made with cooked white cut chicken, ready in about 25 minutes. Step-by-step instructions with photos.

Ingredients

• cooked white cut chicken (from above recipe), shredded
• ginger, julienned fine (unpeeled)
• scallions, green parts only, julienned fine
• peanut oil or neutral oil

Instructions

1. Place shredded chicken in a heatproof bowl. Scatter ginger and scallion julienne evenly over top.
2. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering and just beginning to ripple (≈180°C / 350°F). Do not let smoke.
3. Immediately pour hot oil over ginger and scallions — it will sizzle violently and release intense aroma.
4. Let sit 2 minutes to infuse. Gently toss with chopsticks to coat chicken evenly.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: drizzle with 1 tsp light soy sauce just before eating.
