Yield: 4
Ingredients: 6 green onions, trimmed; 4 chicken drumsticks (750g); 4 chicken thigh cutlets (750g); 2 teaspoon sesame oil; 10 centimetre piece fresh ginger (50g), sliced thinly; 1 tablespoon japanese soy sauce; 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves; 1/4 cup (60ml) peanut oil; 5 green onions, sliced thinly; 8 centimetre piece fresh ginger (40g), grated; 1 teaspoon salt

Ingredients

6 green onions, trimmed

4 chicken drumsticks (750g)

4 chicken thigh cutlets (750g)

2 teaspoon sesame oil

10 centimetre piece fresh ginger (50g), sliced thinly

1 tablespoon japanese soy sauce

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh coriander leaves

1/4 cup (60ml) peanut oil

5 green onions, sliced thinly

8 centimetre piece fresh ginger (40g), grated

1 teaspoon salt

Method

1.Pour 2 cups water into 2.5-litre (10-cup) rice cooker; place steamer basket in cooker.

2.Quarter 4 of the onions lengthways; place in steamer basket. Rub chicken pieces with oil; season. Place chicken and ginger in basket; secure lid. Cook about 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

3.Meanwhile, make green onion and ginger sauce. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When hot (but not smoking) remove from heat; stir in the remaining ingredients.

4.Cut remaining onions lengthways into thin strips. Serve chicken drizzled with soy sauce; sprinkle with onion and coriander. Serve with sauce.

If the steamer basket is large enough, you could steam a 1.6kg (3¼-pound) whole chicken; place it breast-side down in the basket and cook for 55 minutes. You may need to add a little more water to compensate for the longer cooking time.
