Ingredients
- 1kg FATTY Chicken Thigh, Skin And Bone-In
- 1 Bunch Spring Onions, Finely Chopped
- 100g Ginger, Finely Chopped
- 10 Cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 500g Short Grain Rice
- 750ml Chicken Stock (or water)
- 2 Tbsp Shaoxing Wine
- Crispy Chilli Oil, To Serve
Step 1
Place the chicken thighs, skin side down in a pan on the lowest heat. Cook on very low for 10 mins until the fat of the skin has rendered out. Place the chicken on the side.
Step 2
Meanwhile wash your rice until the water is almost clear, but not completely clear - you want it to be slightly sticky for this.
Step 3
Add in the spring onions, ginger and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 mins until fragrant.
Step 4
Add in the washed rice along with the chicken stock, soy sauce and Shaoxing wine and give it a good mix.
Step 5
Bring to a simmer and add in the chicken, then pop on a lid and cook for 15 mins.
Allow to rest for 10 mins with the lid on and then tuck in.
Enjoy with more spring onions and chilli oil.
