Ingredients

Servings:4
  • Chicken thigh(500 g)
  • Jasmine Rice(280 g)
  • Ginger(2 tbsp)
  • Garlic(4 cloves)
  • Spring Onion(4)
  • Bok Choy(2)
  • Chicken Stock(1.2 L)
  • Soy sauce(2 tbsp)
  • Sesame oil(1 tbsp)
  • Vegetable oil(1 tbsp)
  • White Pepper(½ tsp)
  • Salt(½ tsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Cut {Chicken thigh} into irregular bite-size pieces. Finely grate {Ginger}, mince {Garlic}, thinly slice {Spring Onion}, and roughly chop {Bok Choy}, keeping the stems and leaves together.

    ~10 min

  2. 2

    Heat {Vegetable oil} and {Sesame oil} in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken, the white parts of the spring onion, {Ginger}, and {Garlic}. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the chicken loses its raw color and the aromatics smell fragrant.

    ~5 min

  3. 3

    Stir in {Jasmine Rice}, then pour in {Chicken Broth} and add {Soy sauce}, {White Pepper}, and {Salt}. Bring to a boil, stirring once to loosen any rice from the bottom.

    ~3 min

  4. 4

    Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 18 minutes, stirring a few times, until the rice is tender and the broth has thickened into a spoonable, brothy consistency with the chicken folded through it.

    ~18 min

  5. 5

    Stir in the chopped bok choy and most of the green spring onion tops. Cook for 2 minutes until the stems soften slightly and the leaves wilt into the rice.

    ~2 min

  6. 6

    Ladle into bowls and finish with the remaining spring onion on top.

    ~0 min
