Ingredients

1 Whole Chicken

1 Cup white rice

1 cup carrot, finely diced

1 cup zucchini, finely diced

½ cup leek/ scallion, finely diced

10 garlic cloves

1 slice ginger

1 tsp sesame oil

If using a pressure cooker: 5 cups water

If stove cooking: 10 cups water

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp kosher salt

Directions

Rinse the rice. Rub between the palms of your hand. Repeat another 6 times.

Soak the rinsed rice in cold water for 30 minutes. This process ensures that the individual granules are evenly plump, which cuts down cooking time and allows for even cooking.

Add the soaked rice, chicken, garlic, ginger and water to the pressure cooker / pot. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 15 minutes and let it rest for 5 minutes before releasing the steam. If stove cooking, make sure to whisk constantly to ensure that the rice does not burn on the bottom. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through properly.

Add the finely diced vegetables. Cook for another five minutes.

Turn the heat off and add the sesame oil for aroma. Enjoy!
