#Healthy Under 15 “Aromatic Ginger-Infused Steamed Chicken: A Heartwarming Asian Delicacy”

As an international student who lives in Switzerland, eating out at Asian restaurants can deeply cut into your budget, and sometimes the flavors don’t even meet your expectations. In these moments, I’m transported back to the comfort of my childhood home. As the rain pattered against the windows, reminiscent of monsoon seasons in Asia, my mother would often prepare a dish that felt like a warm embrace: Steamed Ginger Chicken. Accompanied by fluffy steamed jasmine rice, it was more than just a meal; it was a reminder of home.

This dish is my sanctuary, combining the richness of protein and the heartiness of ginger, all while being gentle on the stomach. It’s a testament to the joy and love that simple cooking can bring, especially for Asians finding their feet in Switzerland.
