Instructions
Place the chicken and remaining ingredients in a large stock pot and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently, covered, for 13 minutes.
Turn off the heat and leave the chicken to cool in the stock until cool enough to handle, about 1 ½ hours.
Meanwhile, combine spring onions, ginger and salt in a heatproof bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan until smoking then carefully pour over the spring onions. Allow to cool.
When cool enough to handle, remove the chicken from the stock pot and slice into pieces. Pour over spring onion sauce and serve with steamed greens and rice.
