Kang Leo's Guangdong-Style Moist Chicken Sujeot and Garlic-Ginger Sauce

A tender, juicy chicken dish cooked gently in a fragrant broth infused with turmeric and green onion, achieving a sous-vide-like texture without boiling.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never cover the pot while cooking the chicken—closing the lid increases internal steam pressure, causing the broth to bubble again and making the chicken dry and tough. Always keep the lid off and monitor the process visually.
  • Avoid using the green parts of green onions in the broth, as prolonged boiling extracts bitter compounds and excess liquid. Use only the white parts for a cleaner, deeper flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those tired of dry chicken breast and curious about how to enjoy a whole chicken as tender and succulent as sous-vide cooking.
  • Those seeking a refreshing, aromatic chicken dish in the distinct style of Hong Kong and Guangdong, different from traditional samgyetang or baeksuk.
