1. Cooking chicken in a rice cooker without water: convenient and delicious
Cooking meat with this rice cooker is not only convenient but also helps preserve the nutrients in the chicken for you to enjoy a dish that is both delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients:
- Chicken thighs: 2 large pieces
- Scallions
- Ginger
- Shallots
- Cooking wine (use Thieu Hung wine or substitute with rice wine)
- Ginger powder
- Salt
Instructions:
Firstly, wash the chicken thoroughly and let it dry completely. Then, mix 2 teaspoons of salt with ½ teaspoon of ginger powder.
Sprinkle the mixture of salt and ginger powder over the chicken, rub it evenly, and marinate for about 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the chicken.
Cut the scallions into 3 – 5 cm long pieces, peel and finely chop the shallots, wash and clean the ginger, remove the peel, and slice it thinly. Arrange the scallions, shallots, and ginger at the bottom of the rice cooker. Place the chicken on top, then pour in 1 cup of cooking wine.
Plug in the rice cooker and cook continuously for 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Then, transfer the chicken to a plate, serve with a bowl of delicious dipping sauce, and you're done with this dish.
Cooking chicken this way is not only convenient but also helps retain most of the nutrients in the meat as they are not dissolved in water. The scallions, ginger, and wine infuse into the chicken, giving it a fragrant aroma and preserving its original sweet taste while still being rich and flavorful.
