Ingredients
chicken breast
1 large (about 200g)
cooking wine or shaoxing wine
1 tablespoon
salt
1/2 teaspoon plus extra to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
green onions
2 stalks, thinly sliced
radish sprouts or bean sprouts
1 cup
sesame oil
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Marinate the chicken
Place the chicken breast in a microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with cooking wine and season generously with salt and black pepper. Let it sit and absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes.
2
Cook in microwave
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high power (600W) for 4 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through. Remove and let it cool completely before handling.
3
Shred and toss
Once cooled, pull the chicken apart into thin strips following the natural grain of the meat. Add the shredded chicken to a mixing bowl along with radish sprouts, green onions, a pinch of salt, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
