Here's my take on my chicken rice.. A couple of years prolly 8-9 years back, I remembered watching Channel 5 on 1 morning and it was showing some chinese lady who is in the USA cooking Chicken Rice.. Back then, my memory was still capable on rememebering hence, miraculously i remembered roughly how it was made..
I had tried them a couple of times, improvised it at every tries and alhamdulillah it turned out good.. A reliable recipe i must say.. sorta! heh!
Before i start giving out the recipes, let me just get this straight that i had no intention on having these recipes on my own nor do i wanna be selfish.. There are times when i don't have any unit measurement on the litres of water used or the quantity of salt or sugar.. Whatever i have or knows i'll write it down, otherwise it would be agak-agak or estimation..
Chicken Rice
Chicken Stock:
* 1L of water
* Couple of chicken wings/parts (4-5 pcs)
* salt
* 2 cubes of chicken Knorr
[The original recipe is just water + chicken, it is tasteless, seriously tasteless]
Methods:
1) Cook the chicken parts in the 1L of water and bring it to boil.
2) Add in the Chicken cube & salt to taste.
3) Once the stock is up to your preference, turn off the heat. Let it cool properly. Best to cook them the previous night.
Rice:
* Rice (of course!), 5 cups
* 5 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 cm ginger, minced
* 1 Cube of chicken knorr
* 4 tbsp olive oil
[The original recipe uses chicken fats from the skin of the chicken.. Sound greasy doesn't it, so i had opted for olive oil]
Methods:
1) Washed the rice and drain properly.
2) Heat up oil in the wok and put in garlic and ginger. Stir well. (Garlic & ginger turns brown easily so you gotta constantly stir them!) PS: I get high from the smell of garlic & ginger.
3) Add in the Knorr cube and stir. Once dissolve, put in the rice. Yes the uncooked rice, stir fry them constantly for abt 3-5 mins and turn the heat off. Remove from stove and let it cool.
Rice meets Stock:
Note: DO NOT, use the whole 1L of chicken stock.
1) Once rice has cooled, pour in the required amt of stock to cook the rice (just like how you would cook a white rice). Stir them before putting it in the cooker and cook!
2) That is it!
Fried Chicken:
Note: This is not the recipe from the lady.. Its the basic, normal fried chicken recipe that i have, my own..
* Chicken thigh
* Light Soya Sauce
* Tumeric Powder (Kunyit Powder)
Methods:
1) Wash and drain the chicken. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2) Marinate with light soya sauce & tumeric powder (Not too much of the powder)
Note: Due to the Soya Sauce, chicken turn brown easily. Do cook them on small fire/low heat.
Chicken Rice Chilli Sauce:
* 11 Red Chilli
* 5 Red Chilli Padi
* 4 cloves garlic
* 1 tbsp Vinegar
* 3/4 cup water
* Sugar
* Salt
Methods:
1) Blend all the ingredients together.
2) Cook them on low heat. Add more sugar/salt up to your preferences.
Happy Trying!
