How to cook it
-
Put the chicken in a large pot with the ginger, sliced, half the scallions, and the kaffir lime leaves, and add enough water to cover.
-
Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
-
Simmer, mostly hands-off, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 35 minutes.
-
Turn off the heat and let the chicken rest in the hot broth 10 minutes more so it finishes gently and stays juicy.
-
Lift the chicken out, let it cool slightly, and carve into pieces.
-
Reserve the poaching broth; it becomes a canh for another meal.
-
Mix the salt and black pepper with a squeeze of the lime juice into a coarse dipping salt.
-
Scatter the chicken with the remaining scallions, finely sliced, and serve with the salt pepper lime dip and rice alongside.
