How to make it
Salt the chicken
Rub salt all over the chicken pieces and leave them to marinate for 15 minutes.
Steam the chicken
Scatter the ginger slices and chopped garlic over the base of a heatproof dish, lay the chicken on top and sprinkle with the spring onions. Steam over high heat for about 30 minutes.
Cool in ice water
Let the chicken cool for a few minutes, then seal it in a plastic bag and sit the bag in ice-cold water until completely cold.
Slice and shred
Take the meat off the bones. Cut the pieces with skin into even slices and pull the rest apart with your hands.
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, mix the chopped spring onions and ginger with the oil, lemon juice and salt.
Arrange and serve
Spread the shredded chicken over a serving plate, arrange the slices on top and serve with the sauce.
