GINGER CHICKEN



Ginger chicken image

This zingy curry is must-make recipe and only takes 50 minutes, fresher than your local take away and much healthier too

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1kg pack boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 thumb-size piece of fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp mild chilli powder
15g pack fresh coriander, chopped
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium onions
1 tsp ground turmeric
400ml can reduced-fat coconut milk
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and sliced
1 chicken stock cube

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
  • Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
  • Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.

ONE-POT GINGER CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE BY TASTY



One-Pot Ginger Chicken And Rice Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chicken thighs, yellow onion, ginger, garlic, jasmine rice, water, Nakano® Natural Rice Vinegar, soy sauce, kosher salt, scallions, Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar, sugar, chili flakes

Provided by Nakano

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken thighs, bone-in skin-on
½ yellow onion, diced small
1 piece ginger, grated, 2 in (5 cm)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups jasmine rice, rinsed well
2 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon Nakano® Natural Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning chicken
6 scallions, thinly sliced
¼ cup Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon chili flakes

Steps:

  • Chicken and rice: Season chicken thighs on both sides with kosher salt. Place chicken, skin side down, in a Dutch oven or heavy pot. Turn on heat to medium-low. Let cook for 5 minutes, then increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking until skin is golden brown and chicken thighs easily release from the pan, about 6-8 more minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same pot with the chicken fat over medium-low heat, add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in jasmine rice, water, Nakano® Natural Rice Vinegar, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Nestle chicken thighs into the rice, skin side up, making sure that the chicken is not fully submerged. Bring to a simmer, then cover pot and reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, then take pot off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes while making the scallion sauce.
  • Scallion sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir and use the back of a spoon to press down and lightly crush the scallions.
  • Fluff rice and serve with the chicken and the scallion sauce.
  • Enjoy!
