Ingredients
For Crispy Topping:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 chicken thighs , bone in, skin on
- 8 cloves garlic , chopped (do not mince too finely)
Soup:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 1 yellow onion , chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced, fresh
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 pinch saffron
- 1 lime , juiced
To Finish:
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce , to taste (about 1 teaspoon per bowl)
- 1 egg cut in half (1 per bowl, soft boiled
- kosher salt , (sprinkled over egg)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro , minced (1 tablespoon per bowl)
- 2 tablespoons green onion about 2 tablespoons per bowl, thinly sliced
- lime 1-2 per bowl, wedges
Instructions
Crispy Topping:
- To a large dutch oven or heavy pot add the vegetable oil on medium heat, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add the chicken skin and let cook for 8-10 minutes as the fat renders from the skin and the skin crisps up (the crispier the better as long as it doesn't burn).
- Remove the chicken skin, trim off any non-crispy parts, chop the rest of it and reserve.
- Add the garlic, stir to coat and cook for 1 minutes until garlic just barely begins to brown (it will continue to brown as you remove it, so don't wait too long or you will burn the garlic).
- Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside with the crispy chicken skin.
Soup:
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
- Raise heat to medium, add in the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, add in onion, stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Add in ginger and garlic, stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in rice, stir to coat with the fat in the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in chicken broth, stir well and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, add in the chicken thighs, bay leaves and saffron.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes until rice is tender and the chicken is tender (you can leave on both for authentic presentation or remove chicken and cut into chunks for easier eating).
- Remove the bay leaves, stir in lime juice before serving.
To Finish:
- Microwave garlic and chicken skin for just 5 seconds to heat through.
- To serve, spoon rice soup into bowl, top with one chicken thigh, 1 halved soft boiled egg, salt, cilantro, lime wedge, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, green onions, crispy garlic and crispy chicken skin.
