Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

⅓ cup warm water
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
chopped green onions for garnish

Steps:

In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.

SMOOR (INDONESIAN CHICKEN AND RICE)

Smoor (Indonesian Chicken and Rice) image

My grandmother (see profile) was born in Indonesia and we grew up on recipes that we thought noone else in America ate at their dinner table. Well, now you can eat this dish which I have transliterated as "Smoor." I have no idea what it means, but I eat it! For some reason my grandmother always served it with bread and butter pickles. As kids we poured a little pickle juice on top of the "smoor", but this is probably just a family quirk. We also eat this with "kroepoek" (fried pulverized prawn chips).

2 cups jasmine rice

Steps:

(NOTE: I have successfully tried this recipe in a crockpot. Simply throw it all in (including raw onions), mix, and cook on high 4 hours. You do not need to add water, but you can add up to 1/2 cup of you want a lot of juice.).
Fry onions in a little oil on high until light brown. Add chicken pieces. Mix. Add enough water to cover chicken. Add all other ingredients and mix. Simmer about 45 minutes on medium heat.
In the meantime, rinse 2 cups of jasmine rice and cook in the rice cooker.
Serve the chicken pieces on a bed of rice. You can add additional sambal if you like it hotter.
