Fresh ginger gives this chicken dish a warm, aromatic flavour without needing a heavy sauce. Colourful vegetables add texture, fibre and volume, while a small amount of oil and reduced-sodium soy sauce keeps the preparation simple and suitable for an everyday lunch or dinner.
Use skinless chicken and keep the oil to a minimum. Pair the chicken with plenty of vegetables and a sensible portion of rice to create a balanced plate without removing familiar everyday foods.
Mix the turmeric, garlic, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, oil and black pepper in a bowl.
Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade and leave it for at least 15 minutes. For stronger flavour, refrigerate it for up to a few hours before cooking.
Heat a grill, grill pan or non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 7–9 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until fully cooked and lightly charred.
Slice the cucumber, tomato and carrot. Blanch the long beans or bok choy until just tender.
Slice the cooked chicken and serve with the vegetables, a moderate portion of rice and fresh lime wedges.
