This is one of my stand by recipes for evenings I would like a simple, but delicious meal. I do agree that it can be salty but kick up the flavor with a few more onions and a little less salt to start off with...you can always add more. I boil a few chicken breasts and make a little extra rice and voila! you have plenty for various dishes throughout the week!
Chicken with Ginger and Green Onion Salt Dip
Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
This pungent dip is, as the name suggests, salty. Use it in small amounts. The Vietnamese boil chicken with the skin on and chop the bird into bite-sized pieces through the bones. The chicken is then dipped into this fragrant condiment and eaten with rice on the side. Steamed, roasted, or grilled chicken also will work. Here, shredded rotisserie chicken breast makes this a quick and easy dish. You can also drizzle some of the dip over the chicken and serve the rest in a small bowl.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup chicken, about 2 tablespoons dip, and 1/2 cup rice)
