Spring Onions And Chicken Rice

To cook the rice :-

3 bowls of rice (wash and drain).

My daughter loves this dish.....everytime when I tell her that I am cooking this dish, she will say "Wow" and at the end, she will have 1 1/2 bowls of rice and my son will have two bowls of rice. Sorry, there is no measure for this dish. You just have to estimate for yourself. Don't be afraid, you can cook it. Nothing is impossible. Happy trying.

Spring Onions

Cilantro

Garlic

Fresh Ginger (I only use 1/2 of this fresh ginger)

1/2 Free Range Chicken (Kampung Chicken)

Chop the fresh ginger and garlic.

Cut the Cilantro and Spring Onions to around 1 inch.

Cook the chicken with water until cooked.

Place the drumstick at the bottom because it is the hardest area to cook.

The chicken is cooked when there is no blood ooze out when you prick the drumstick.

After cooking the chicken, make sure you retain the chicken broth to cook the rice.

Once cooked, cut the chicken into pieces.

Heat up the wok and pour cooking oil.

Once heated up, pour fresh ginger and garlic and fried until slightly brown.

Pour chicken and stir fried for a few minutes.

Sprinkle some salt and pour some dark soya sauce and stir fried for a few seconds.

Pour cilantro, spring onions and stir fried until well done.

Do not over cook the cilantro and spring onions.
