Poached White-Cut Chicken

“Soak chicken” is actually a slow-cooking method—using warm water to gently cook the chicken, reducing protein loss and preventing moisture from being drawn out, resulting in a more tender, silky texture. Additionally, to enhance the flavor, this time we’ve added pork ribs to the poaching. The perfect accompaniment to white-cut chicken is, of course, minced ginger, which we’ll share in another recipe.

Serving it with a fresh dipping sauce adds a touch of freshness.
