Recipe Instructions

For chicken: Place chicken, water and salt in a 2-quart pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink when cut near the bone, 30 to 40 minutes. Lift out chicken and let cool; reserve broth for rice and sauces.

For rice: Place a 2-quart pan over high heat until hot. Add cooking oil, swirling to coat sides. Add shallot, ginger and garlic; stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add 2 cups broth, then the sesame oil. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

For ginger sauce: Place all ginger sauce ingredients except cooking oil in a blender and process. Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add puree and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

For chili sauce: Place all chili sauce ingredients except cooking oil in a blender and process until smooth. Heat oil in small pan over medium heat. Add puree and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

To serve: Place rice in a wide, shallow serving bowl. Place chicken around rice. Serve with sauces.
