Instructions

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Add the rice, chicken broth, and water to a pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice has broken down and thickened, add the sliced chicken, garlic, and grated ginger.
Cook for another 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, adjusting salt to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.

Notes

Add extra broth or water to adjust thickness when reheating.

Chicken thighs can be used for a richer flavor.

Mushrooms or shredded carrots make great additions.

Top with chili oil, sesame seeds, or a soft-boiled egg if desired.
