Chicken Long Rice, a luau staple.
Ingredients:
3 c chicken stock (should be intensely flavorful; reduce a standard stock or add a hit of good concentrated chicken bouillon if necessary)
½ lb boneless chicken thigh
Neutral oil for sautéing
2 T peeled ginger, sliced into batons
2 cloves garlic, peeled (optional)
½ t salt plus more to taste
1 package (2 oz) cellophane bean thread noodles, or use equivalent amount of thin rice noodles
2 green onions, sliced into thin rings including most of the green
These are the noodles used for Chicken Long Rice. In a pinch, you could use “rice stick” noodles.
Ever hear of a Chime-O-Matic rice cooker?
Had to google it but yes, I think that may have been our first rice cooker way back when. Today we cook rice in a saucepan, seems to work fine for some reason. A family member has one of those trendy Cuckoo rice cookers that talks to you as it goes, so we know we are missing out.
