Chicken Rice Bowl With Soy Mushroom Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN RICE BOWL WITH SOY-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the water for the rice to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and stir in the rice.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low to keep the mixture at a slow simmer. Cover tightly and cook until the rice is tender but not mushy, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.
• Place the chicken, 1/3 of the scallions, 1/3 of the garlic and all of the ginger in a wok or large skillet.
• Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat (do not boil).
• Continue cooking, turning several times, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and strain the broth into a measuring cup and discard the solids.
• Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces, transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Set aside.
• Wipe any excess moisture from the skillet and heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the remaining garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, cook for another minute, then add the soy sauce and sugar.
• Continue cooking for 2 minutes, then stir in 3/4 cup of the reserved broth.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, then slowly add the beaten egg, stirring continuously until the sauce has thickened.
• Add the remaining scallions and sesame oil along with a few grinds of black pepper. Remove from the heat.
• To serve, fluff the rice with a fork and place a portion in each of 4 serving bowls. Top with a portion of shredded chicken and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.
• Garnish with a little more black pepper and serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
• Add the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the shiitakes and cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the ginger is tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, chicken and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Drizzle with the sesame oil, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

• Pour broth into a heavy medium saucepan, along with sugar, soy sauce and mirin. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM JUK WITH SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine rice with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chicken, halved scallions, garlic, half the ginger and 4 quarts water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, skimming any foam and fat that rises to the top. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and let stand until cool enough to handle. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard solids. You will have about 12 cups of broth.
• Clean out the pot or Dutch oven, then heat the sesame oil over low. Add drained rice and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and carrot, and stir until pan is very dry, scraping up the rice that sticks to the bottom, about 1 minute. Add 8 cups of the broth and bring to a boil over high heat. (Reserve or freeze remaining broth for future use.) Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced, rice is plump and a porridge forms, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, julienne the remaining ginger and transfer to a small bowl. Add the chopped scallions, safflower oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Set aside.
• Remove skin from the cooled chicken and discard. Shred chicken meat and discard bones. Reserve 4 cups of the shredded chicken for the juk and save the remaining chicken for another use. Add the spinach and 2 cups of the reserved chicken to the juk and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide juk among bowls. Top each with some of the remaining 2 cups chicken and drizzle with the scallion sauce. Serve with soy sauce and chile oil or hot sauce on the side, if desired.
