Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (6 to 8 sprigs)
5 slices fresh ginger
Soy-Ginger Dipping Sauce for Li's Steamed Chinese Chicken, for serving
Sesame-Cilantro Dipping Sauce, for serving
Chinese mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Stuff chicken cavity with cilantro and ginger, and then tie together legs with kitchen twine. Transfer chicken to a large heatproof bowl.
  • Place bowl with chicken onto a rack fitted in a large pot, and add enough hot water to pot to come about halfway up sides of bowl. Add enough cold water to bowl to cover chicken.
  • Cover pot, and bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, about 1 hour, adding more water to pot as needed to maintain water level.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board, and set broth aside. Cut chicken into 6 pieces. Divide chicken and broth among bowls. Serve with sauces and mustard.
