Sweet soy chicken

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs – wash and pat dry with paper towels

3 stalks green onions – wash, trim off roots, and cut into two-inch long pieces; slice tops into small pieces and save for garnishing

Thumb-sized piece of ginger – peel and slice lengthwise

1/2 cucumber – peel, score with fork and slice

1 and 1/2  cups sweet soy sauce (if not available, make your own: pour 1½  cups dark soy sauce into small saucepan; add 1 ½  cup sugar, and stir over very low heat until sugar is melted)

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1 tsp sesame oil

(Note: Feel free to adjust the sauce to suit your tastes; if you like it less sweet, add more dark soy sauce.)

Pour sweet, dark soy sauce in a pot with water and sesame oil. Add ginger and onions.

Bring sauce to a simmer over low heat and add chicken thighs.

Ladle sauce over chicken, ensuring it's completely covered.

Cover with lid and steam for 15 minutes, ensuring chicken is covered in sauce.

Check if cooked and serve with green onions and cucumbers.
