A fairly mildly spiced chicken dish that is super easy to make because you will cook the chicken along with the rice all in one pot together.A Southern Thai dish with my special sauce that is the perfect compliment!
Cut the chicken thighs in half; wash and strain them.
Wash 4 cups of jasmine rice until the water runs clear and strain it.
Season the chicken pieces with spice seasoning mix very well, cover and then keep in the fridge for 20 mins or longer if you want.
Fry the chicken with little or no oil if using a non-stick pan, until it is a light brown color. You are just coloring the chicken at this stage not cooking it through.
Toss the rice with the oil from the chicken that's left in the pan. Stir it around until well mixed and colored well.
Put the chicken in the rice cooker first, then add the rice on top. Add clean water. Beware should not add too much water otherwise the rice will come out wet and won't be nice. This is because the chicken these days contains a lot of water which will come out as you cook. So reduce water quantity by 10-15% below what you would normally use for the weight of rice you are cooking.
Press the cook button on the rice cooker for normal rice or cook on the heat on the stove top as you would cook rice normally and with the lid on. Next, let's prepare dipping sauce together.
Dipping Sauce
Simmer sugar and vinegar until the sugar dissolves. Put to one side and let it cool down.
Add all the other ingredients into the food processor and blend together well.
Pour into a bowl and add the little salt then stir it up. Finished.
Side Dish to Serve
Decorate with cucumber slices, green onions, and crispy onions, sprinkling on top and then eat with dipping sauce. Yum!
