RECIPE

Serves: 1

Ingredients
Rice, 1 cup
Garlic, 3 cloves
Chicken, 100g-ish
Salt, 1tsp

1. Boil water and add the garlic, salt and chicken. Turn the heat down to a simmer and leave the chicken to boil for about 20min
2. Remove the chicken, add the chicken fat, boil that for a bit then cook rice in the chicken broth (either in the same pot or transferring to a rice cooker)

(drastically modified and simplified from original recipe here)

Wow did I manage to simplify all that into a 2 step recipe!? I'm clearly much too lazy. >.> And the consequences show. The chicken broth itself tasted amazing and exactly like the soup that comes with the chicken rice, but I think in itself it's flavour is not thick enough to make the rice truly fragrant. The rice was really rather bland. :( However, it tasted better when eaten together with the chicken. Minako, who has never eaten chicken rice before, liked it. Still, this is not a success. I'll try again!

At least this is a major improvement from the last time when I super-shortcutted (it would have been a one-step recipe lol) and dumped everything into the rice cooker. The result was something like bland chicken porridge lol. I think I overdosed on the water there ha.

VERDICT: 5/10
