Ingredients:
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1.5 cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1.5 tablespoons)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2.5cm cubes.
- 2 cups round grain rice, washed 3 times
- 3 tsp ground turmeric
- 4 servings of Chinese sausage (lap cheong), sliced diagonally into 0.5 cm thick pieces (about 200 g)
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 can (400 g) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1 large carrot, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 280 g frozen green peas
- 2–3 hard-boiled eggs, quartered lengthwise
- 2–3 green onions, greens only, thinly sliced
Preparation:
- Dissolve the bouillon cube in 2 cups of hot water in a small bowl. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the onion begins to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken and 2 teaspoons of salt and cook until the chicken is white but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and turmeric and stir until the turmeric is evenly distributed. Add the sausage, raisins, coconut milk, and reduced broth and stir for 1 minute. Cover and simmer over low heat until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes.
- Add the red and green bell peppers, carrots, and peas and stir gently. Continue cooking, covered, until the vegetables are slightly softened and the liquid stops releasing, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs and green onions.
