Look forChicken is evenly coated and marinating in the refrigerator.

Steam the chicken
Bring the steamer to a boil. Arrange chicken on a heatproof plate with steam circulation. Cover and start a 20 min check once steady steam returns. Probe the thickest meat away from bone for 74°C, continuing if needed.

Cook the ginger-scallion dressing
Finely mince ginger and slice scallion. Warm dressing oil in a small pan over medium-low heat, gently cook ginger and scallion until fragrant, then turn off heat and mix in salt and sugar. This version cooks aromatics in the pan rather than pouring hot oil into a wet bowl.
Look forGinger and scallion are fragrant without burning.

Debone and shred
After confirming doneness, cool briefly and use clean tongs and forks to remove bones and shred roughly 1 cm wide pieces. Keep cooked chicken away from raw-poultry bowls and boards.
Look forBones are removed and cooked pieces sit in a clean bowl.
