How to Cook Chicken Sticky Rice Using a Rice Cooker
-
Prepare the Peanuts
Put the peanuts in a pot, boil them until just cooked, then take them out and soak them immediately in cold water. This way, the peanuts will be crispy, delicious, and not mushy.
-
Wash the Rice
– When washing the rice, simply add water to the pot (with rice), use your hand to stir gently so that the dirt rises to the surface, then gently pour that water away.
– Add another round of water, stir gently like that and pour it out.
– After that, put the rice into the rice cooker along with the peanuts.
– Avoid rubbing the rice too hard, as this can cause the vitamins in the rice such as: B1, B3, iron,… to be lost.
-
Cook the Sticky Rice
– Add peanuts and 1 teaspoon of salt to the rice cooker, stir to distribute the salt evenly.
– Pour water just enough to cover the rice, poke many holes in the rice base so that the sticky rice cooks evenly, chewy, and delicious. Press the cook button.
– When the pot switches to the warming setting, use chopsticks to fluff the rice to ensure it cooks evenly.
-
Prepare the chicken
– Wash the chicken thighs, drain, and use a fork to poke the surface for the seasoning to soak in.
– Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of minced onion to the chicken and mix well.
– Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
– Add oil to the pan, then add garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, add the chicken thighs to fry, keeping the heat low so that the chicken cooks evenly.
