Instructions

Boil the chicken for about 15 minutes until slightly cooked.

Pat dry and dice the chicken into cubes.

Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a pot.

Add in the chicken and rice (Make sure to wash the rice).

Season with salt, pepper, and fish sauce.

Add the 4 cups of liquid. Make sure you keep stirring for 45 minutes - 1 hour and adding more water. This allows the rice to fully cook and not to clump up.

Garnish with fried garlic, scallions, egg, tofu, lime, and chili oil.
