Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken around 1.5 kg
  • 2 thumbs ginger peeled and sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 3 scallions cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 pandan leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 1 thumb ginger peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Sliced cucumber and chili sauce for serving

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the chicken inside and out, and pat it dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with ginger slices and scallions.
  • In a large pot, heat up enough water to cover the chicken. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions, and bring to a boil.
  • Carefully lower the chicken into the pot, breast side down. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the chicken simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for another 30 minutes. This will ensure that the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice. Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear. In a pot, heat up the vegetable oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil.
  • Add the chicken stock, pandan leaves, and salt to the pot. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  • To serve, spoon some rice onto a plate, and top with a few pieces of chicken. Serve with sliced cucumber and chili sauce on the side.
