• Telungkupkan cup di atas piring2 saji lalu ketuk2 cup agar nasi terlepas dari wadahnya. Sajikan dengan kuah & sambal.

• 2 Garlic cloves-grind, 2 tsp Soy sauce, 2 tsp Oyster sauce

• 100 gr Chicken liver*, 1 tbsp Chinese rice wine (optional)

• 1 cm Ginger-grated, 1 tsp ground Pepper, 25 ml Broth

• 150 gr Button mushrooms & 100 gr Onion-sliced

• 2 tbsp salty Soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet Soy sauce

• 1 tsp Vinegar, 1 tsp Salt

Rice ingredients:

• 500 gr raw Rice, 2 Garlic cloves-grind, 3 tbsp Butter

• 1 cm Ginger-grated, 1 tsp ground Pepper, 2 tsp Salt

• Chicken broth

Soup ingredients:

• 600 cc Broth, 1 Garlic clove-grind, 1 cm Ginger-bruised

• 1 tbsp Sesame oil, 2 Green onions+150 gr Bok choy-sliced

• 1 tsp ground Pepper, enough Salt

Directions

• Preparing the broth: Boil the chicken & liver with broth until they are cooked. Remove chicken & liver from the broth. Dice chicken & halve the liver. Save boiled broth for cooking the rice, chicken-mushroom mixture & soup.

• Soup: Sauté garlic with sesame oil. Boil 600 ml of the broth. After it's boiling, stir in sautéed garlic, ginger, pepper & salt. Cook until the flavour blended & then put in sliced bok choy & green onion, cook for a few minutes.

• Chicken-Mushroom: Sauté garlic, onion, mushroom & ginger with margarine. Stir in oyster sauce, sesame oil, soy sauces, rice wine & pepper. Pour in 25 ml of broth, liver & chicken. Cook until the liquid dries. Remove the liver & save it for stuffing the rice.

• Chili paste: Cook chilies in boiling water for a while. Drain & grind it with garlic, salt, vinegar, water & sugar.

• Rice:

  • With a Rice Cooker: Sauté garlic & ginger with butter. Remove from the heat & mix it with rice, pepper & salt. Put it in the rice cooker; add in enough broth to cook the rice & then cook it.

  • Conventional: Sauté the garlic & ginger with butter, add in the rice, pepper, salt. Pour in the broth (± 700 ml); cook & stir occasionally until the broth sucked out by rice (it dries). Remove from the heat.

• Place some of chicken-mushroom mixture at the bottom of big/small heatproof bowls. Big bowls (diameter ~ 12 cm): add rice on top of the chicken mushroom until ½ of the bowls height. Press it down to compact the rice. Place 1 piece of liver; fill with more rice until the bowl almost full. Press it down again. Small bowls: add rice on top of the chicken mushroom until it`s almost full. Press it down to compact the rice. Pour 4 tbsp of chicken broth into each big bowl & 2 tbsp of chicken broth into each small bowl. Steam for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

• Place the bowls upside down on serving plates. Tap the bowl`s bottom few times to make steamed chicken rice out. Serve with the soup & chili paste.

• * Instead of the liver, you can also use 1 piece of chicken with bones (i.e. Chicken wings) for the stuffing. But it`s necessary to still using the liver to make the broth, to get the right flavour (will taste better).
