Ingredients
- 2 chicken thighs
- 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
- 2 green onions
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 cucumber
- cilantro, to taste
Ginger Scallion Sauce
- 1/2 inch ginger
- 1 green onion
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- salt, to taste
- 3 tbsp neutral oil
Chili Garlic Sauce
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/2 inch ginger
- 2 tbsp sambal
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 2 tbsp chicken broth
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp sugar
Instructions
- 1Season the chicken thighs with sesame oil and salt, mixing until evenly coated.
- 2In a large pot, combine jasmine rice, minced garlic, sliced ginger, sliced green onions, chicken broth, chicken bouillon powder, and turmeric powder; stir to coat the rice evenly.
- 3Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture, skin side up.
- 4Bring the pot to a rolling boil over medium‑high heat, uncovered.
- 5Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
- 6While the rice and chicken cook, prepare the ginger‑scallion sauce: combine sliced ginger, sliced green onion, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- 7Heat sesame oil and neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and just beginning to smoke, then carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger‑scallion mixture and stir to combine.
- 8Prepare the chili garlic sauce by whisking together minced garlic, grated ginger, sambal, sriracha, chicken broth, lime juice, and sugar in a bowl until smooth.
- 9After the rice has finished cooking, turn off the heat and let the pot remain covered for an additional 10 minutes to steam and set.
- 10Remove the chicken thighs from the pot, slice against the grain, and arrange on a serving platter; fluff the rice with a fork.
- 11Serve the chicken and rice with generous spoonfuls of ginger‑scallion sauce and chili garlic sauce, garnished with cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and extra green onion if desired.
