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.
