Soy Poached Chicken

2 pounds chicken breasts
3 c water
1/3 c dark soy sauce(recipe called for ¾ c, but we were short)
1/3 c Chinese black vinegar
4 tbs chopped ginger
4 large garlic cloves
4 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp sesame oil
¼ tsp hot chile flakes

Simmer liquid ingredients. Add chicken breasts and simmer gently for 6-8 mins. Turn off heat and let stand for at least 30 mins. This chicken came out a bit dry and not as flavorful as I like. Might be worth trying again.

This was from John Ash's book.
