Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

3 lb whole chicken, giblets removed
¼ cup kosher salt, divided
4 inch pieces fresh ginger, peeled and cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) slices
1 bunch fresh scallion
1 gal cold water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons sesame oil
¼ cup sesame oil
2 tablespoons chicken fat, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups long grain rice, rinsed and drained
2 cups reserved chicken poaching broth
2 tablespoons sambal
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons reserved chicken poaching broth
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
kosher salt, to taste
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
reserved fried garlic and ginger
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
3 tablespoons dark sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons reserved chicken poaching broth
2 cucumbers, thinly sliced, for serving
1 bunch fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • To clean the chicken, rub all over with a handful of kosher salt, getting rid of any loose skin. Rinse the chicken well inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Remove any excess fat from the chicken and set aside for later.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt. Stuff the chicken cavity with the ginger slices and scallions.
  • Place the chicken in a large stock pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch (2 cm), and season with salt to taste.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving the poaching liquid for later, and transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and to keep the chicken skin springy. Discard the ginger and green onion.
  • After it's cooled, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub all over with sesame oil. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • In a large wok or skillet, heat ¼ cup (60 ml) of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved chopped chicken fat, the garlic, ginger, and salt, and fry until aromatic, about 10 minutes.
  • Reserve ¼ of the fried garlic mixture, then add the rice to the remaining fried garlic and stir to coat. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the rice to a rice cooker and add 2 cups (480 ml) of reserved poaching broth. Steam the rice for 60 minutes, or until tender.
  • While the rice is cooking, carve the chicken for serving.
  • Make the chili sauce: combine the sambal, Sriracha, sugar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and chicken broth in a small bowl and stir to incorporate.
  • Make the ginger garlic sauce: in a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, salt, peanut oil, and rice vinegar, and stir to incorporate.
  • Make the soy sauce: in a small bowl, combine the reserved fried garlic and ginger with the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and chicken broth, and stir to incorporate.
  • Serve the sliced chicken with the rice, dipping sauces, sliced cucumbers, and fresh cilantro.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and chop all of your ingredients and gather all of your equipment. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Season your food generously: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure that the chicken is cooked through before you serve it. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Serve immediately: Most dishes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that the food is at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Rainbow rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the rice is colorful and packed with vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
