Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice

Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice

Welcome to my new series – Realistic Dinners, featuring groceries I have in the fridge.

For the first episode, we will make Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice. This Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice turned out so delicious that I had to write a dedicated blog post so you can give it a try!

one pot dinner

The chicken was flavourful and juicy, and the rice soaked up all the delicious chicken oil and seasoning.

Seriously, Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice is the definition of the perfect bite! 

All you need is a few simple seasonings that you likely already have at home to make Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice.

CHICKEN 

I am using boneless chicken thigh with the skin on. Believe it or not, it is super easy to de-bone a chicken thigh at home. I have a youtube video sharing how to do it, an extra 5 minutes and it will make a world of difference. Without the chicken bone, the chicken will cook much faster and evenly! 

To season, I season with salt and pepper, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, and olive oil. You can use any seasoning you like or have in the pantry. 

rice

RICE 

When it comes to making one-pot chicken and rice, I find that basmati rice is the most beginner friendly and fail-proof.

Compared to Sushi Rice and short-grain rice, Basmati rice cooks quickly, and the grains don’t break as easily. Therefore, you don’t need to soak the rice to achieve fluffy and flavorful rice.

If you are using short-grain sushi rice, soak the rice for 20 minutes before cooking, and if you are using brown rice, soak the rice for 1 hour before cooking.

GINGER & SCALLION SAUCE 

The highlight of my Scallion Ginger Chicken and Rice is, for sure, the delicious savory sauce.

Inspired by the sauce you find for Hainan chicken, this ginger and scallion sauce is super delicious and packed with umami flavors. All you need is ginger, scallion, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and a hot pot. This sauce seriously tastes good with EVERYTHING!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
