Hi, I have been looking all over and couldn't find it. I am
looking for the recipe to make the sauce for steam chicken
(pak chi kai). It is supposed to make of ginger, green
onion, etc. But I don't have the complete recipe and don't
really how to make it. Could someone please let me know.
Thank you.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Sauce for cold chicken 1square inch of fresh ginger,
chopped very fine Put into a bowl alnong with a bunch of
green onions, sliced at random lengths, then cut into fine
pieces. add about 1/2 teasp sesame oil 1 teasp salt or to
taste 2 teasp sherry

Rosie Mix all this together well and let sit at least 10
minutes, add about 3/4 cup peanut oil , also a little white
pepper. Mix well pour over the cold chicken.

Don't know if this is the one you want, but this is how I
make a sauce for steamed chicken:

Salad onions/green onions very finely minced (depends on how
much you want to make; one per person as a minimum) 1 minced
clove of garlic for each salad onion used very finely minced
fresh ginger to taste salt a few drops of soy sauce a few
drops of sesame oil

Mix all these to a paste and add a little juice from the
steamed chicken to thin it to a sauce. Let sit for a few
minutes before using.

It's quite strong!

"Pak chi kai" means "coriander (cilantro) chicken" in Thai,
AFAIK, so the sauce presumably will have to be made with
coriander (leaves). Below is a plausible recipe, found at
<efatloss.comrecipesOpen ↗
dinners.html#Steamed%20Chicken>. I would perhaps consider
substituting nam pla for the soy sauce, to get more "Thai"
effect. Consider also the recipe at
<http://www.foodland.com/recarch/entree/01023.html> (which
also doesn't appear to be Thai, in case this is important).
If I were you, I would also post your question on
<news:alt.food.asian>.
