~ingredients(serving for one):
- 2 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onion
- 3-4 slices ginger
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup brown rice
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 stalks green onion (minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil
~instructions:
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sesame oil. Set aside.
- Prep the aromatics for the rice cooker:
- slice 2 stalks green onion into 2 inch pieces
- slice 3-4 pieces of ginger
- mince 3 cloves garlic
- Prep the aromatics for the ginger-scallion sauce by mincing the below:
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tbsp ginger
- Note: adjust to your liking, I like more ginger
- Rinse your rice well in the rice cooker pot and drain the water until runs clear.
- Add in chicken stock:
- If white rice, 1:1 ratio (1/2 cup rice = 1/2 cup stock)
- if brown rice: 1:2 ratio (1/2 cup rice = 1 cup stock)
- Add in the chicken drumsticks, and the aromatics prepped in step 2.
- Cook on the regular setting of your rice cooker.
- While the chicken cooks, you can make the ginger-scallion sauce by mixing the minced green onion and ginger in a small heat-safe bowl.
- Heat up 2 tbsp of neutral cooking oil (i use avocado oil) in a pan. It’s hot enough when the oil is shimmering.
- Carefully pour the hot oil over the green onion and ginger – this blooms the aromatics.
- Stir in 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Taste and adjust accordingly.
- When the rice cooker is done, remove the chicken drumsticks and green onion/ginger sliced. Fluff up the rice.
- Plate and serve with the ginger-scallion sauce, enjoy!
