#73 Chicken Rice : recipe #52






Over the years I've cooked a number of Chicken rice versions and so is Mamafami. I cooked this as a result of reading Sarina's and Ihsan's blog. The rice looked so delicious that I need to cook for my family as well. Chicken rice is a complete meal as it is served with soup, sliced cucumber, chicken and the sauces. Today's chicken rice recipe is a combination of the many versions of chicken rice I cooked over the years. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did :)

First, make the broth:
Ingredients:
500g chicken (skinned and fat removed),
1 litre water
7 pcs ginger ( garlic sized)
salt and pepper to taste

- put all ingredients in a pot,
- cook until broth boils and off the flame
- cover the pot and do not open the lid for 15 minutes ( to make the chicken tender)

secondly, cook the rice
Ingredients:
3 cups rice- washed and drained
3 cups broth
4 shallots-sliced
2 clove garlic-sliced
1 piece ginger (garlic sized)-sliced
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt ( more if needed)
1 dsp chicken stock powder
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/3 cup oil

steps:
-heat oil in pot
-fry shallots, ginger and garlic till fragrant
- add in the rice, fry till rice transparent
- add in the broth and the seasonings
- when rice boils, lower the flame, cover lid and cook till done. Alternatively, transfer the rice into a rice cooker.

thirdly: prepare the chicken
- cut chicken into small pieces.
- you can serve them as it is or you can season and deep fry them
-alternatively, you can bake them( see Ihsan's blog)
- however today I placed all the cut chicken into a casserole, put sliced garlic and large onion , I add 1 dsp of oyster sauce and 1/4 cup of the broth before cooking the chicken in the microwave oven for 4 minutes.

fourthly: making the soup
- top up the remaining broth with water
- season it with chicken stock powder
- add fried shallots and chopped spring onions

fifthly: making the soya sauce dip;
mix the following:
- 1 dsp light soya sauce+ 1 dsp sweet soya sauce+ 1/4 cup water + 1/2 tsp sesame oil

lastly : making the chili sauce * also yummy with "cucur udang" and steam boat dishes :)
Ingredients:
3 red chili
2 cloves garlic
1 dsp oyster sauce
-blend the above ingredients and cook until boiling. Once boiled, add the following:
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp vinegar
- continue cooking till sugar dissolves.

~~~~ serve the rice set with sliced cucumber~~~ Happy eating !!!!

Hi Ihsan..., the chili sauce atu yummy tu. I first made it in a very large quantity masa my cousin's nikah day. My aunty was clueless on how to make the sauce.. since then I made the adjustments... so it turns great. adjust the salt and sugar according to your taste OK!
