Ingredients

1 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon peanut oil

1/2 lime, juiced

1 (1-inch) piece ginger, sliced thick

1 cloves garlic, sliced

1 handful cilantro, chopped

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 head savoy cabbage

Directions

  1. Into a large, re-sealable plastic bag add the soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut oil, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Seal the bag and shake it to mix the ingredients. Add the chicken breasts and shake it again. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour or up to overnight.
  2. Pour about 1-inch of water into a wok and bring it to a boil over high heat. Line the bottom of a bamboo steamer with a layer of cabbage leaves. Place the marinated chicken on top of the leaves. Cover the steamer and put it into the wok. Steam the chicken until it is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Too much salt for my taste, a full tablespoon in the first stage was just too much. I'd reduce that to a half, and reduce the soy in the last stage. Other than that, maybe a little more carrot? Something sweet is sorta called for.
