Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ tazas de leche de coco
- 2 tazas de arroz jazmín
- 1 ½ tazas de agua
- 450 g de muslos de pollo deshuesados y sin piel, cortados en trozos
- 1 cucharada de jengibre fresco rallado
- 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
- 2 dientes de ajo picaditos
- 1 cucharada de salsa de soya
- 1 cucharada de salsa de pescado
- 1 cucharada de azúcar moreno
- Pimienta negra y sal al gusto

Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until it runs clear.
- In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes. Let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.
- Season the chicken chunks with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through (about 7 minutes), then remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the grated ginger and chopped garlic. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, add soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir and let bubble for 1 minute.
- Add shredded carrot, sliced red pepper, and sweet peas to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve topped with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
This dish can be prepared ahead of time, but keep the rice and chicken separate until serving to avoid soggy rice.
