Sticky Rice With Chicken Recipes

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Make your preparations first, soaking the mushrooms (if you didn't soak them overnight already, this can be expedited into a 1-2 hour process if you soak in hot water) and deboning the chicken thighs. Chop the onions, garlic, shallot, and scallion. Cut the sausage into small discs and slice the mushrooms (after draining) lengthwise into thin strips.
• Combine the shallot, garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, wine, five spice powder, and sesame oil into a stainless steel or glass bowl. Add the chicken to the mixture and coat it in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Cook the sticky rice.
• Heat the oil in a wok using medium heat, and cook the onion until translucent. Add the Chinese sausage and cook for another minute. Then add the shiitake mushrooms, scallion, salt and white pepper. Cook another minute and add in the cooked sticky rice, 3/4 teaspoon of salt (or salt to taste), the last 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and then allow the rice mixture to cool.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Divide the rice into 6 equal balls, and wrap a chicken thigh around each portion, tucking all sides under. Lay them in a baking dish. Add 2 cups of chicken stock (pour it evenly in between the crevices of the chicken) and reserve the rest if needed during baking.
• Combine ½ teaspoon of salt with ¼ tsp of five spice powder, and sprinkle a dash of the mixture over the skin of each chicken portion. Bake for about 35 minutes, and add additional broth if the bottom of the pan looks dry. Watch it closely, as you don't want to overcook the chicken.
• Once the meat is cooked through, broil it on low for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Don't walk away as it broils! Watch it like a hawk to prevent burning. Serve immediately.

STICKY RICE WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, 1 cup water and the salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• For the chicken filling: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the coriander, cumin, salt, black pepper, garlic and shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic and shallots have softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and sugar and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• For assembly: Preheat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Layer the 2 halves of a Swiss chard leaf perpendicular to each other on a cutting board to create a cross shape. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the rice into the center where the leaves meet and flatten the rice into a rectangle. Layer 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling evenly over and top with an additional tablespoon of rice to cover the chicken. Fold the top and bottom of the Swiss chard leaf over the filling to make a small square package. Repeat with the remaining leaves, rice and chicken.
• Grill the packages in batches until the leaves are charred on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Serve warm.

STICKY RICE WITH ROAST CHICKEN AND SCALLION OIL

Steps:

• Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover by 1 inch. Let stand for at least 2 hours (or even overnight).
• Dump the rice into a colander and rinse under cold running water. Give the colander a few shakes to expel extra water and then return the rice to the bowl. Toss the rice with the salt.
• Fill the steamer pan halfway with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. If you are concerned about cleanup and/or the rice falling through the holes of the steamer tray, line the tray with a piece of parchment paper or banana leaf, leaving a few holes uncovered for heat circulation. Pour the rice into the tray, keeping it 1 inch away from the edge where condensation will collect.
• Place the tray in the steamer, cover, and steam the rice for 20 minutes, or until the grains are shiny, tender, and slightly chewy. To ensure even cooking, give the rice a big stir with chopsticks or a spatula 2 or 3 times during steaming. Take care when lifting the lid that you don't allow any condensation to drip onto the rice and that you are not burned by the steam. After each stirring, gather the grains back into a mound in the center, leaving a 1-inch border between the rice and the edge of the steamer tray. When the rice is done, lower the heat to keep it hot. (The rice may be steamed up to 2 hours in advance and left at room temperature. Before serving, resteam it until hot.)
• To serve, warm the chicken in the microwave oven or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. It doesn't need to be piping hot, just soft and juicy. Turn off the steamer, fluff the rice with chopsticks or a large spoon, and then spoon it onto a platter or 2 plates, spreading it out into a 1-inch-thick layer. Arrange the chicken on top and then distribute the scallion oil evenly over the chicken. Serve with the condiments. Eat with chopsticks or a fork.
