How to cook it

  1. 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.

  2. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

  3. Simmer, mostly hands-off, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 35 minutes.

  4. Turn off the heat and let the chicken rest in the hot broth 10 minutes more so it finishes gently and stays juicy.

  5. Lift the chicken out, let it cool slightly, and carve into pieces.

  6. Reserve the poaching broth; it becomes a canh for another meal.

  7. Mix the salt and black pepper with a squeeze of the lime juice into a coarse dipping salt.

  8. Scatter the chicken with the remaining scallions, finely sliced, and serve with the salt pepper lime dip and rice alongside.
