Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, bruised
  • 4 pandan leaves, tied into a knot
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 thumb-sized ginger, sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cups water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Steamer basket
  • Medium pot
  • Wok or frying pan
  • Blender or food processor (optional)

Method

  1. Wash the chicken and remove any excess fat. Rub the chicken with salt and sesame oil, inside and out. Stuff the lemongrass and pandan leaves into the cavity of the chicken.
  2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Place the chicken into the pot, breast side down, and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the pot for another 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and place it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Reserve the chicken stock for cooking the rice.
  4. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the rice and stir until coated with oil. Pour in the chicken stock and water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
  5. While the rice is cooking, prepare the chili sauce and ginger paste. For the chili sauce, blend 5 red chilies, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 2 tbsp chicken stock until smooth. For the ginger paste, blend 1 thumb-sized ginger, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 tbsp chicken stock until smooth.
  6. Once the chicken and rice are cooked, remove the lemongrass and pandan leaves from the chicken cavity. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the rice and chili sauce and ginger paste on the side.

Notes

  • You can also use a rice cooker to cook the rice.
  • For a more flavorful rice, you can add chopped scallions and cilantro to the rice after it is cooked.
  • You can also use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of a whole chicken.
