Serves 4
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Yellow Onion (small, diced)
2 Garlic (cloves, finely chopped)
1 tbsp Ginger (fresh, grated)
2 lbs Chicken Wings (split and tips discarded)
1 tbsp Fish Sauce
5 1/4 cups Chicken Broth
1 cup Jasmine Rice (dry, rinsed)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1 stalk Green Onion (chopped)
1 Lemon (quartered)
Assemble It
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and cook for two to three minutes or until softened. Add the garlic, ginger, and chicken and cook, stirring for two minutes. Stir in the fish sauce, cover, and cook for another two minutes.
Add the broth to the pot. Stir in the rice and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide evenly between bowls and garnish with green onions. Serve with a wedge of lemon and enjoy!
