CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TURMERIC



Chicken and Rice Soup With Ginger and Turmeric image

Many countries have some form of creamy rice porridge in their culinary canon, such as Chinese congee, Filipino lugaw or arroz caldo and Korean juk, to name just a few. Seasonings vary, but all call for simmering a little bit of rice with a lot of liquid until the grains tenderize and break down to create a deeply comforting soup. Ideal for those harboring colds or seeking comfort, this brothy chicken-and-rice soup begins with poaching an entire chicken, which takes time, but guarantees tender meat. The rendered fat creates a rich, flavorful broth, while coriander and turmeric add earthy notes. Fresh cilantro, red chile and ginger brighten the dish.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
5 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise (about 3/4 cup), plus 1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle, for garnish
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger (from one 3-inch piece), plus extra julienned ginger, for garnish
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice or Arborio rice (10 ounces)
3 quarts chicken stock
3 bunches baby bok choy (about 1 pound)
1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, wings and legs removed and reserved (this will help the chicken fit better in the pot)
Sliced fresh red chile and chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the oil with 3/4 cup scallions, the garlic, finely chopped ginger, coriander and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir until coated. Add the chicken stock and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the bok choy: Trim and discard the ends, then halve crosswise, separating the leafy bok choy tops from the heftier stems. Cut the stems crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Once the stock comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the whole chicken, then the wings and legs, adding the meat in a single layer. (If the chicken isn't fully submerged, add enough water until the meat is fully covered.) Cover the pot with a lid, leaving the lid cracked open about 1 inch, and simmer over medium-low until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low if necessary. You want to keep it at a low simmer to ensure the chicken stays tender.) Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
  • Continue to cook the soup over medium, uncovered, until the rice is tender and the liquid starts to thicken, 20 to 25 minutes. While the rice continues to cook, shred the chicken: Once cool, discard the chicken skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the bones. (You should have about 3 packed cups of shredded meat.)
  • Stir the bok choy stems and shredded chicken into the soup, and simmer just until stems are slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the leafy bok choy tops, and season to taste with salt.
  • Divide among bowls and serve with bowls of chile, cilantro, sliced scallions and julienned ginger, to garnish.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE



Chicken and Rice With Scallion-Ginger Sauce image

Chicken and rice is a favorite combination around the world. This version, an Asian-inspired one-pot meal, coaxes a lot of flavor out of a limited ingredient list. Rinsing rice until the water runs clear helps remove extra starch on the outside of the grains and will make rice less gummy when cooked. The most essential step when cooking rice on the stovetop is to resist the urge to peek under the lid; the telltale sign that the rice is done is when the steam rising from under the lid has subsided. (In the early stages of cooking rice, there may be visible steam escaping the saucepan, but as the moisture is absorbed by the rice, you may notice less steam.)

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups sushi rice (or other short-grain white rice)
2 cups chicken broth
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 3 tablespoons)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 jalapeño, halved, seeded, then thinly sliced
2 teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water, shaking gently, until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, broth and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper and place on top of rice mixture. Cover and bring mixture to a boil over high. Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is plump, broth is absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, scallions, vinegar, jalapeño, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar and remaining ginger; season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from saucepan and slice 1/2-inch thick crosswise. Fluff rice with a fork and divide among bowls. Top with chicken and scallion-ginger sauce.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken stock instead of water.
  • Add a tablespoon of soy sauce or fish sauce for a savory umami flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Garnish the soup with chopped green onions, cilantro, or fried shallots.
