STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Warm sesame oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan. Add ginger, garlic and half the spring onion and stir for 1 minute.
Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, measured water, soy sauce and pepper; bring to a gentle simmer.
Add chicken and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Stir in spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Take off the heat and add lemon juice and remaining spring onion.
Divide solids and broth evenly into 4 servings.

Kitchen notes

Nutrition uses unsweetened coconut milk expressed from coconut flesh and water. Canned products and coconut drinks can differ; use their label values for a closer estimate.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers. Reheat to 165°F (74°C), stirring so the whole portion is hot.
