2 Steps to make spicy chili chicken rice
Step 1 Prepare the chili sauce
In a pan, heat 100ml of cooking oil and sauté garlic, onions, and ginger until fragrant. Add the minced red chili peppers. Season with 35g of fish sauce, 30g of sugar, 8g of chicken stock powder. Cook for about 10 minutes to let the chili sauce absorb the flavors, stirring constantly.

Step 2 Steamed chicken
Clean and dry the chicken. Leave some chicken fat aside for later use. Cut the chicken into pieces and marinate with 2 tablespoons of chili sauce for about 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the chicken.
Line a steaming basket with parchment paper. Crush 2 stalks of lemongrass and place them on the paper. Add some coriander leaves and lime leaves. Put the chicken on top. Add sliced ginger and onions on top of the chicken. Steam for about 20 minutes.
Steamed chicken
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the steamer and apply a layer of the chili sauce and chicken oil all over the chicken to give it a beautiful color and prevent it from drying out.
Save the remaining chicken broth in the steaming basket, do not discard it.
Step 3 Cook the rice
Rinse 300g of rice and put it in a rice cooker. Add 360ml of water and about 140ml of the steamed chicken broth. Season the rice with 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and a few slices of ginger. Stir well. Cook the rice as usual.
