In this recipe, Wanting Huang (@iswanting) layers chicken over rice so everything cooks together, then finishes the dish with a fragrant spring onion and ginger sauce. It’s simple, fuss-free, and perfect for a comforting meal at home. The rice and chicken cook together in one pot, finished with a fragrant spring onion and ginger sauce for an irresistible burst of aroma. It’s easy, satisfying, and ideal for busy days.
- Step 1Rinse the jasmine rice in the M-Cuisine™ Microwave Rice Cooker colander. Place the colander into the cooking pot and add the required amount of water. Soak for 30 minutes. Marinate the diced chicken with the cooking wine, soy sauce, white pepper and cornflour. Set aside.
- Step 2Combine the spring onion and ginger in a heatproof bowl. Heat the oil until shimmering, then carefully pour it over the mixture in 2–3 batches to release the fragrance. Add salt, white pepper and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Step 3To cook the rice, place the lid on the pot and lock it using the rice paddle (do not cover the steam holes). Microwave on high for 8 minutes. Carefully open the lid and spread the marinated chicken evenly over the rice. Cover again and microwave for another 5 minutes. Let stand (covered) for 8–10 minutes.
- Step 4Once the resting time is complete, spoon the spring onion and ginger sauce over the rice. Gently mix and serve.
