we have food at home.
~ingredients:
- 2 lb chicken drumsticks
- small shallot (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
- 2 stalks green onion (whole)
- 2 stalks green onion (minced)
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups rice
~instructions:
- Mince shallot, garlic, ginger, and green onion. For the one-pot chicken, we’ll need shallot, garlic, ginger. Set aside some ginger and green onion for the ginger scallion oil we’ll be making later.
- Note: for green onion, we’ll need one or two whole, and the rest can be minced.
- Oil pan and throw in the shallot, garlic, ginger
- Toast for a minute, or until fragrant
- Add in rice (I used 1 1/2 cup) and stir, the goal is to toast the rice with the aromatics.
- When the rice is lightly toasted, pour in chicken broth. Liquid to white rice ratio is 1:1 so I used 1 1/2 cups of broth here.
- Place your chicken drumsticks on top. I HIGHLY recommend cutting slits into your drumsticks if they are thick, so they can fully cook. (I didnt do this in the beginning and had to later on)
- Throw in green onion (whole)
- Bring to a boil and then lower to simmer, cover for 20 minutes. (note: this took me 30 minutes because i didnt cut slits in the drumsticks to begin with)
- While this simmers, you can get started on the ginger scallion oil. Ginger and minced green onion can be combined in a heat-safe bowl. Add a tsp of salt.
- Heat up 1/4 cup of oil. Once hot, carefully pour into the heat-safe bowl. Stir, season with more salt if needed.
- Check back in on the rice and chicken. If the chicken is not fully cooked, adjust cooking time to longer but add a little more broth/water if there is no liquid left (we dont want to accidentally burn the rice).
- Once ready, plate and serve. Enjoy!
