Soy Rice And Chicken Recipes

SOY STEAMED CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into chunks and mix with the soy, then set aside. Heat the oil in a pan with a well-fitting lid, then add the ginger and onions and fry briefly. Stir in the rice. Add the veg, pour in the stock, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 5 mins, then put the chicken on top of the rice and pour over the soy.
• Re-cover the pan and cook for a further 12-14 mins until everything is tender.

SOY SAUCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine sugar, soy sauce, water, garlic, and ginger in a large stock pot; stir until sugar is dissolved. Place chicken in stock pot and bring to a boil. Using tongs, turn chicken in pot every 5 minutes.
• Boil chicken until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sauce mixture will turn into a rich, brown glaze. Remove pot from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
• Place chicken on a platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

SOY-GARLIC CHICKEN WITH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the sesame oil, sugar, sambal oelek and grated garlic in a shallow baking dish. Add the chicken and toss to coat; set aside while you fry the garlic and make the rice.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the oil in the skillet.
• Add the ginger to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until sizzling, about 20 seconds. Add the cabbage and a big pinch of salt. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce and all but 2 tablespoons scallions; season with salt.
• Heat another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, add 1 tablespoon water to the marinade and reserve. Season the chicken lightly with salt. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, adding the marinade to the skillet during the last 30 seconds of cooking and spooning it over the chicken.
• Divide the rice and chicken among plates. Top with the fried garlic and reserved 2 tablespoons scallions.

SOY SAUCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, add the halved spring onions, ginger, star anise and bay leaves. Stir-fry for 5 mins until fragrant and the spring onions turn slightly golden.
• Pour in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, 2 tbsp of the sugar and 480ml water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the liquid to the boil.
• Slide in the chicken thighs, skin-side down, arranging them in a single layer. Add water if needed to just about cover the chicken.
• Turn the heat down low, cover the wok or pan and simmer for 35 mins. Turn the thighs over and cook covered for another 10 mins.
• Remove the chicken to a plate. When the thighs are cool enough to handle, remove the bones and slice into pieces about 1cm thick. Arrange on a serving dish.
• While the chicken is cooling, strain 150ml of the braising liquid into a small pan and discard the solids. Put the pan over a medium heat and just before it starts to boil, add the cornflour mixture and remaining brown sugar. Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove from the heat. (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.) Pour it over the sliced chicken or serve in a bowl on the side for dipping. Garnish with the sliced spring onion. Serve with jasmine rice and steamed greens, or vegetables of your choice.

HONEY & SOY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, score the chicken thighs twice through the skin, season and transfer to a bowl.
• Whisk the honey with the soy, lemon juice, ketchup, ginger, garlic, chilli flakes and fennel seeds. Pour this over the chicken, making sure that each piece is coated, then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hrs, or overnight if you have time.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Line a large roasting tin with foil and put in the oven to heat up for 10 mins. Gently shake the excess marinade off the chicken thighs, reserving the bowl of leftover marinade, then carefully arrange in a single layer in the hot tin. Drizzle with the oil and roast for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small pan and bring to the boil over a medium-low heat, stirring often. Cook for 7-10 mins, or until thick and syrupy.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and carefully pour any juices from the tin into the pan with the syrupy sauce and continue to cook for 5 mins until the sauce is the consistency of double cream.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then return the roasting tin to the oven for 10-15 mins more, or until the thighs are sticky and tender, and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Slice some spring onions along their length and scrape a knife along the shreds to curl them, if you like, then scatter over the chicken. Serve warm or at room temperature with rice and salad or steamed greens.
