Steps:
- Set the stove to high heat and start boiling a generous amount of water in the pot you'll be using.
- Wait for the water to come to a boil.
- While we wait for the chicken to cook, we'll start on our sauce by mincing our green onions and ginger.
- We'll heat up our wok on high heat and add corn oil.
- We'll add salt and sesame oil to the bowl, and mix for 30-60 seconds.
- Grab a big bowl and dump a few handfuls of ice into it. Fill it roughly halfway with cold water.
- Once the time draws near, we can uncover the pot. Poke the thickest part of the chicken (around the thigh) deeply with a chopstick.
- Carefully take two chopsticks under the chicken wings, and lift it over the pot.
- This could honestly be its own blog post, but for now it will live in a very detailed step in this recipe.

Steps:
- Pat dry the chicken. Rub salt on the whole chicken and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Make sure to get some salt in the cavity as well. Use more salt if needed.
- The next day, toast the coriander and fennel on the stove for 10-20 seconds.
- Add coriander, fennel, and the ginger to a small cheese cloth. Tie the ends together to make it into a small spice package. Stuff it into the cavity of the chicken.
- Use kitchen twine to tie the legs together to close the cavity. Use a second piece of twine to tie the legs to the tail. Finally, use one more piece of twine to tie around the length of the chicken (see picture above). The twine should go between the legs and wrap around the length of the chicken. Optional: You can use one more piece of twine to around the height of the chicken which will help you lift it out of the steamer.
- Prepare your steamer pot. Place a heat proof plate on your steamer attachment. Bring water to a boil. Add the chicken to the steamer. Let the chicken steam for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let the chicken sit for another 20 minutes.
- Carefully take out the chicken with tongs, and remove the spice package from the cavity. Pour the steaming liquid into a small bowl. This liquid can be used in future dishes or to cook the rice.
- Let it cool completely (~10 minutes).
- Once it is cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Serve with rice and ginger scallion sauce. The chicken can be served at room temperature or cold.

SAKE-STEAMED CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS
"Steamed chicken is not the kind of dish that makes my mouth water," Melissa Clark wrote in 2011, when bringing this recipe to The Times. But she made an exception for this dish, inspired by Harris Salat, who helps run the website Japanesefoodreport.com. Here, a full chicken is steamed for about an hour and a half over a mixture of sake and water, leaving it soft and flavorful.

Steps:
- Place a steamer basket in the bottom of a large stockpot. Pour in equal amounts of sake and water, enough to reach the bottom of the steamer basket. Bring to a boil.
- Generously salt the chicken inside and out; set breast side up in the steamer basket. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Steam the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the heat and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
- To prepare the sauce, in a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, lemon juice, mirin, ginger and garlic.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a large cutting board; carve and set pieces on a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the meat and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
