Main Ingredients

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag or a dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 3

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, add 4 cups of water for every 2 cups of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 5

    Frying/Grilling the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Preparing the Sides

  1. 6

    Choose and Prepare Sides

    Select any two sides from fried tempeh, steamed vegetables, pickled vegetables, or fried tofu. Prepare them as desired (fry, steam, or serve cold).

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, serve the cooked chicken alongside a scoop of white rice, slices of cucumber, sambal on the side, and your choice of two sides.
