　　Ingredients/Seasonings: 1 chicken (about 2 lbs), 1/2 cup shredded scallions, 1/2 cup shredded ginger, a pinch of pepper, 4 tablespoons oil

　　Seasoning A: 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons rice wine, a pinch of MSG, 5 scallion sections, 5 slices of ginger

　　Seasoning B: 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water

　　Preparation Steps:

　　(1) First, clean the chicken thoroughly, pat it dry, and evenly coat the inside and outside with Seasoning A. Let it marinate for 2 hours. Then place the chicken breast-side up in a steamer and steam over high heat for 20–25 minutes.

　　(2) After the chicken is cooked, remove it, cut it into pieces, and arrange it on a serving plate. Then scatter the shredded scallions and ginger over the chicken, and sprinkle with pepper.

　　(3) Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a wok until hot, then pour it over the scallions and ginger. Take 1/2 cup of the reserved chicken broth from steaming, mix it with Seasoning B to thicken into a sauce, and drizzle the sauce over the chicken to make fragrant scallion oil chicken.
