Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 whole chicken
5 cloves garlic, crushed
20 slices fresh ginger, divided
2 spring onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
2 ¾ cups white rice
2 pandan leaves

Steps:

  • Rub about 1 teaspoon salt all over chicken.
  • Fill a large pot with water; add garlic, 15 ginger slices, spring onions, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Bring liquid to a boil. Carefully lower chicken into pot. Return liquid to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat until chicken is fully cooked, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from pot and transfer to a bowl of ice water, reserving chicken broth.
  • Combine 3 cups chicken broth, rice, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, pandan leaves, and 1 teaspoon salt in a rice cooker; cook according to manufacturer's instructions until rice is tender.
  • Serve rice alongside chicken.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the rice was a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the rice turned out a bit mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was delicious. I think I'll try using a different method for cooking the chicken next time.
