ONE POT CHINESE CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Mix Sauce in a large bowl. Add chicken and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes to overnight.
• Cut Chinese broccoli stems cut into 2.5 cm/1" pieces, leafy part 5cm/2.5cm pieces.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess marinade - RESERVE marinade!
• Cook both sides until golden - about 90 seconds on each side, don't let them burn! Remove chicken onto plate.
• Add a touch of oil if pot is dry. Add onion, garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes until tinged with gold.
• Add rice, stir to coat grains in oil. Add broth, reserved Marinade and Chinese broccoli stems. Stir.
• Place chicken across the top, pour in juices pooled on plate. Cover, bring to simmer then lower heat to medium.
• Cook for 12 -15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check).
• Remove from heat. Working quickly, scatter Chinese broccoli leaves across surface, clamp lid back on.
• Rest for 10 minutes. Remove lid, toss rice and serve, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. A dollop of your favourite chilli paste wouldn't go astray either!

MAMA'S ASIAN CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
• Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.

ONE-PAN CHINESE CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Rub the chicken thighs with the wet rub of shaoxing wine and sesame oil. Add the dry spices and toss to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
• (Optional) Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to use the oven baking method instead of the stovetop method.
• In a high-sided oven-safe pan (9" or 10" diameter cast iron or carbon steel pan or dutch oven), add the sesame oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the rice and stir until evenly coated with oil. Turn the heat off.
• Arrange the rice and make four wells for the chicken. Add the chicken thighs to the wells, skin-side-up, nestling them in so there isn't too much rice underneath.
• Add the broth and soy sauce. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Oven method: Move the pan to the oven and cook for 25 minutes. Once done, check the rice. If the rice is still a bit tough, return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Stovetop method: Bring the broth to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer on the stovetop for 20 minutes.
• Turn on the broiler. Remove the lid or foil from the pan and move the pan under the broiler. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the chicken skin gets some color and crisps up.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot as a main dish.

CHINESE GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with the salt and white pepper. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Dredge the chicken pieces in the cornstarch mixture and shake off any excess. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok (it's also possible to make this recipe with a simple skillet if you don't have one). Add the chicken pieces and shallow fry them for 3-4 minutes or until golden and cooked through. If all the chicken doesn't fit in a single layer, work in batches. When done, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
• Clean the wok using a paper towel. Add some oil and stir-fry the garlic and scallions for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of white pepper. Heat through and return the chicken pieces back into the pan. Mix them into the sauce.
• Serve over the rice or it's also great as a finger food. Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI (CHINESE TAKEOUT STYLE)

Steps:

• Slice the chicken against the grain into thin bite-size pieces, no thicker than 1/4" (1/2 cm), transfer into a medium-size bowl. Add the marinade ingredients. Stir to mix well. Let sit for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
• Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir to mix well.
• Bring 1/3 cup of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until the broccoli just turns tender and the water evaporates, about 40 to 50 seconds. Transfer the broccoli to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel held in a pair of tongs if there's any water left.
• Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Spread the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Allow to cook without touching for 30 seconds, or until the bottom side is browned. Flip to cook the other side for a few seconds. Stir and cook until the surface is lightly charred and the inside is still pink.
• Add the garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the flavor and fragrance.
• Return the broccoli to the pan. Stir the sauce again to dissolve the cornstarch completely and pour it into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer everything to a plate immediately.
• Serve hot with steamed rice or boiled noodles as a main dish.

Steps:

• At the end of the cooking time, stir the rice and check the rice for tenderness. If the liquid has been absorbed, drizzle with the soy sauce and sesame oil and toss well to coat.
• Add frozen peas, if desired, and stir to combine. The heat of the rice will cook them in just a minute or two. Taste the rice, and add salt, only if needed. Add the green onions, stir and keep covered until ready to serve. Enjoy!
