Steps:
- Combine chiles, sake, and 1 cup water in a pot. Fit with a steamer basket and arrange ginger in basket. Season chicken with salt and place in steamer basket, skin side up; add squash and 2 sliced scallions. Cover pot and steam chicken and squash over medium heat, adding more water by 1/4-cupfuls if needed, until squash is tender and chicken is just cooked through, 16-20 minutes.
- Remove steamer basket from pot and bring liquid to a boil. Cook until flavors are concentrated and liquid thickens, 6-8 minutes (you should have about 3 Tbsp.).
- Slice chicken and arrange on plates with squash. Pour steaming liquid over and top with additional scallions.
