Ingredients
Chicken Rice
- 2 cups White rice
- 2 cups Water
- 4 boneless Chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Cooking wine
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Corn starch
Scallion Oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (scallion)
- 10 slices Ginger
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil, heated until smoking
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken:Cut boneless chicken thighs into cubes and season with soy sauce, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Let it sit while you prepare the rice.
- Prepare the rice:Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear, then add it to your rice cooker. Fill the water line to the corresponding amount of cups of rice you have added. There is no need to reduce or use additional water than you normally do.
- Add the chicken:Place the marinated chicken directly on top of the rice. Spread chicken pieces out and mix any sauces into the rice water. Close the lid and cook using the standard rice setting.
- Make the scallion oil:While the rice is cooking, prepare the scallion oil. Finely chop or blend green onions and ginger, then place them in a heatproof bowl. Heat oil until hot, then carefully pour it over the mixture. Season with salt and sugar, then mix well.
- Add scallion oil and mix well:Once the rice is done, add scallion oil into the rice cooker pot and mix well. All the rice and chicken should be coated by the sauce. Enjoy!
