Chicken Rice - Pyramid Style feat. Noah

The best chicken rice in town (Kota Kinabalu i.e.) has got to be Nasi Ayam Viya @ Segama. Noah loves it very much that we decided to give it a try. There was no whole chicken at home for I've not been to the market in recent weeks. So we just tried it out with chicken parts though a whole chicken would make the best broth.

Noah finished the chicken rice, not the chicken though but it's yet another success story seeing him eat the food that he helped to cook.

HE WHO COOKS, EATS! Good tip for parents with kids who are very picky eaters.

Chicken (whole/parts)
Ginger (smack 'em)
Rice
Salt
Chicken Stock

Broth:
Add chicken into (2 cups) boiling water.
Add ginger & salt to taste.
Boil it for ½ hour & continue to do so
for another 15 minutes under lower heat.
Let it settle in order to get a thin oily surface.

Rice:
Fry rice grains with (minimal) cooking oil & ginger.
Add some chicken broth (take top layer of the thin film).
When rice grains turn yellowish
& the whole kitchen smells of lovely ginger,
you know it's time to put the rice in the rice cooker.
Add the remaining chicken broth to rice & let it cook.

Chicken:

The boiled/steamed chicken is normally good enough to be taken with rice but I deep fried our chicken since it was in parts & not whole plus just to be different.

The next time you want to go for chicken rice outside, think again :)

Noah's important tasks:
peel ginger
put 2 cups of rice in rice cooker/wash the rice
set the table
EAT
wash the plates
