Bright, zesty and comforting at once, it is a fuss-free route to a restaurant-style plate at home.
Preparation tips
- Pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper before they go into the mixing bowl so the lemon and soy glaze clings better and forms a glossy coating instead of sliding off during steaming.
- Use the zest of the lemon as well as its juice: grate the skin first for extra citrus perfume, then squeeze the fruit so both layers of flavour end up in the glaze with the ginger and garlic.
- Swap the mixed vegetables for whatever you have, such as sugar snap peas, baby corn or bok choy, and add delicate greens only at the end so they stay vivid and just tender alongside the jasmine rice.
Recipe variations
- Make a gluten-free version by replacing the soy sauce with tamari and checking that the chicken stock cube is certified gluten-free; the lemon, ginger and garlic glaze tastes identical and the jasmine rice is naturally suitable.
- For a festive spin, add a tablespoon of honey and a pinch of chilli flakes to the lemon glaze, then garnish the wings with toasted sesame seeds and extra spring onion for an Asian party platter.
