How to choose good chicken breast
- To prepare a delicious dish, you should choose chicken breast pieces with white skin, as these are larger chickens with tastier and firmer meat; younger chickens tend to have softer meat.
- If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the layer of fat on the chicken meat. You should choose pieces with white fat for better flavor.
- Choose pieces of breast with few streaks in the meat fibers. The more streaks there are, the less fat and protein there will be, and these streaks will make it difficult for the chicken to absorb seasonings and sauces during cooking.
- You should not buy if you see the chicken breast has unusual colors, a foul smell, is slimy, especially if the source is unclear.

Cooking rice
Soak butterfly pea flowers in boiling water for about 4 – 5 minutes to extract the color. Alternatively, you can directly put the flowers into a pot of water and boil for 3 – 5 minutes until you achieve the desired color.
Next, rinse the rice a few times with water until it is clean, then add the butterfly pea water to cook the rice.
Note: To make the rice softer and easier to roll, since this is sticky rice, you may need to add a little more water than usual for cooking rice.

Prepare the chicken
Wash the chicken breast with diluted salt water, then rinse it with clean water and let it dry completely.
Marinate the chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. You should rub it evenly on both sides of the meat so that the chicken absorbs the seasoning better.

How to choose sticky, delicious rice
- When buying rice, you should prioritize choosing the type with uniform round grains, not broken or crushed grains, and emitting the characteristic aroma of new rice.
- In addition, to choose a quality rice, you can put a few grains of rice in your mouth and chew; if the rice has a slightly sweet taste, it is good rice.
- Do not choose rice that shows signs of mold, is too white, has a silver belly, or has an unusual taste when chewed in the mouth, as they may have been bleached and contain pest control substances.
