Chicken Rice
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 inch gingerroot

- 12 cucumber
- 5 tablespoons soya sauce
- 1 12 cups jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon saffron

- Wait for the water in the pot to boil.
- Once boiling, stick the chicken in it.
- Make sure that the water covers the whole chicken.

- While waiting for the chicken to cook.
- Wash the uncooked rice in water.

- Heat a frying pan, melt the margarine, and throw in garlic.
- Fry till fragrant, do not brown the garlic.
- Put in the uncooked rice.

- Put in the salt, pepper, chicken stock and saffron powder (The saffron powder is what makes the rice yellow.
- so adjust depending on how yellow You want the rice to be).
- Once everything is mixed well, take out of frying pan and put it into a rice cooker.
- For easy way to measure the water to rice ratio, use your index finger to measure the depth of the rice and remember where it hits on your finger.
- (I like to use my thumb resting against my index finger to mark the level).
- Then simply rest your index finger on top of the rice and add water until it hits the same spot on your finger as the rice did before.
- But for yellow rice, the rice should be a little grainier, so only put in a little less water.
- Put the Pandan leaf in with the rice and let it cook.
- If the rice comes out too grainy for your taste, just add a little more water and press the cook button again.
- Your chicken should be ready by now, take out the chicken put in a bowl.
- Rub the whole chicken with the sesame oil.
- (Save the soup).
- Cut the chicken as desired.
- Lay some cucumber slices on the side of a plate, arrange cut chicken on the plate.
- Mix Soya sauce and sesame oil together and pour all over the chicken and cucumber.
- Add salt to the chicken soup.
- You can put in leaks or any leafy vegetable of your choice.
- Serve chicken with yellow rice and a bowl of soup.
- Eat.
