Ginger Sauce Chicken in the Microwave
- 1 portion Chicken breast
- 30 grams Ginger
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 300 grams Chinese cabbage
- This time, I chose Chinese cabbage to serve with the chicken.
- Cut the core part of the Chinese cabbage into thick matchsticks if you can.
- But you can cut into your desired shape and size.
- Put the Chinese cabbage into a heat resistant dish.
- Cover with cling film and microwave for 4 minutes at 600 W until slightly wilted.
- Drain the Chinese cabbage in a colander.
- Grate, chop or julienne the ginger, and combine with the seasonings.
- Marinate the meat with this ginger sauce.
- Cover with cling film.
- If you have time, you can let it sit for a while to get the flavors of the seasonings to settle into the meat.
- Or you can microwave it straight away.
- Microwave for 6 minutes at 600 W. Check the chicken by looking at it from the bottom of the dish, or poke with your finger to see if it's done.
- If it's not, microwave it again, 30 seconds at a time.
- The cling film might tear a little.
- Sometimes, it gets burnt a little as well.
- Remove from the microwave, and leave it to rest for about 15 minutes.
- By letting the meat sit for a while, you can keep the moisture on the inside to make it juicy.
- Thinly slice the chicken.
- The marinade sauce left in the dish is going to be the sauce to pour over the meat and vegetables.
- This is how I served the chicken before I pour over the sauce.
- You can use any vegetables you like instead of Chinese cabbage to serve with the chicken It also goes well with raw vegetables.
- You can serve it with the sauce like this.
- The sauce is quite sweet.
- Adjust it to your liking.
- It tastes even better if you add grated garlic with the ginger.
