Nourishing Chinese-Malaysian Classic – Made by Christina with Love
Christina’s soy ginger chicken is a traditional Chinese-Malaysian braised dish, slow-cooked until tender in a fragrant sauce of fresh ginger, soy, garlic, and sesame oil. Mushrooms braise alongside the chicken, soaking up the umami-rich flavours, while carrots and broccoli add both colour and nutrition. Served with fluffy coconut rice, this frozen ready meal is complete and satisfying – warming, aromatic, and deeply nourishing.
This dish has its roots in Chinese-Malaysian confinement food, traditionally prepared for new mothers after childbirth to support recovery and circulation. But its appeal goes far beyond postpartum care – it’s the kind of wholesome, gently spiced comfort food that works just as well for a weeknight dinner, a wellness boost, or simply when you’re craving something hearty without the effort of slow cooking. Christina’s careful balance of ginger and soy creates depth without overpowering heat, making this a family-friendly meal that still feels restorative and special.

I was brought up in Malaysia in a Baba Nyonya family. Our cuisine is often known as the Peranakan Nyonya cuisine, which is a fusion of Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian heritage. The Peranakan Nyonya cuisine is about traditional family recipes passed down for generations, along with the stories of the people who cooked them with love and passion.
