1

Put the chicken and salt in a bowl. Rub the salt evenly over the chicken. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2

Set a steamer basket in a saucepan and add water until it sits just below the bottom of the basket. Rinse the chicken and place it in the basket. Bring the water to a boil; cover and steam the chicken until the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
3

Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then take it off the heat.
4

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with cilantro to serve.
