Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine enough water to cover the chicken, along with sliced ginger and scallions. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breast, cover, and poach for 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Once the chicken is done, transfer it to the ice bath immediately. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before removing and draining.
- While the chicken cools, julienne the cucumber into thin strips and arrange neatly on a serving plate.
- Once the chicken has cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- To assemble, place the shredded chicken on top of the cucumber and drizzle the sauce over it. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
- Let the assembled dish sit for a few moments to allow the flavors to meld. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.
