Crispy Fried Sticky Rice Chicken Recipe

How to make Crispy Sticky Rice Chicken

• 1

  Prepare chicken and ingredients

  After buying the chicken, wash it thoroughly with a bit of salt to clean and remove any unpleasant smell. If the breast is too large, you can cut it into smaller pieces to ensure it cooks faster. However, do not cut it too small, as the breast may become mushy and lose its sweetness when boiled.

  Wash the ginger and lemongrass, then crush them. Peel the shallots, wash them, then crush and chop them finely.

  Soak the dried mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes until they soften. After the mushrooms are soft, cut off the stems and scrape the dirt off the mushroom caps. Then rinse them again and cut the mushrooms into thin strips.

  How to prepare chicken without unpleasant smell

  • Cut off the oil gland at the tail of the chicken, and you can also cut off the tip of the tail.
  • Mix vinegar with salt and rub it evenly over the chicken or soak the chicken in that mixture for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • You can also use lemon juice mixed with salt to rub on the chicken to help eliminate the smell.

  Boil the chicken and shred it

  Put the smashed lemongrass and ginger into a pot, add the chicken breast, and pour in enough water to cover the pot. Place it on the stove and boil the chicken breast over medium heat for 20 minutes until cooked.

  After the chicken breast is tender, remove it to cool slightly, then use your hands to shred the chicken into strips. Do not shred too small like floss, as it will become dry when stir-fried.

  Stir-fry the chicken with mushrooms

  Add a little cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots and sauté until golden and fragrant. When the shallots are aromatic, add the chopped wood ear mushrooms and stir-fry over medium heat for 4 minutes.

  Next, add the shredded chicken breast along with 1 spoon of ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes to absorb the seasoning. Then, scoop the chicken and mushrooms onto a plate.

  Chicken wrapped in sticky rice

  Use food wrap to cover the plate, add a handful of sticky rice, and spread the rice thinly across the plate. Next, add the stir-fried chicken and mushroom filling, then fold the edges of the sticky rice over to seal the chicken filling.

  Then pull the food wrap up, roll the sticky rice around, and shape the sticky rice into a nice round shape. Do the same with the remaining filling and sticky rice.

  Tip: Steam the sticky rice until hot, then spread it out on a plate; this way, the rice will be smoother, and it will fry evenly crispier.

  Fried Sticky Rice with Chicken

  Pour oil into the pan, ensuring that the oil level must at least cover half of the fried sticky rice block. When the oil is hot enough, carefully add each sticky rice block into the pan and fry over high heat. Remember to remove the plastic wrap before placing it into the frying pan.

  After frying for about 5 minutes, turn the sticky rice block to achieve an even golden color. Continue frying the sticky rice for about 5 more minutes until the outer layer is beautifully crispy and golden, then remove the sticky rice and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.
