White cut chicken or white sliced chicken (traditional Chinese: 白切雞; simplified Chinese: 白切鸡) is a type of siu mei.[1] Unlike most other meats in the siu mei category, this particular dish is not roasted, but poached.[2] The dish is common to the cultures of Southern China, including Guangdong, Fujian and Hong Kong.[1][3] In Hawaii, this popular dish is known as cold ginger chicken.[4][5]
