Okay, this may be my new favorite. My new favorite dinner, my new favorite lunch leftovers, my new favorite anything. There really isn't much to this dinner. Poached chicken. Steamed Rice. Sliced Cucumbers. And that sauce! Oh I love that sauce! The star of the dish truly is the dipping sauce.

Mostly, I suppose, I got busy and blogging fell to the bottom of my to-do list.
