Tam Ky Chicken Rice (Cơm Gà Tam Kỳ)

First, wash the chicken thoroughly and let it drain, or use a paper towel to pat it dry.
Next, mix and wash the rice 2-3 times, then let it drain.
Finally, thinly slice the cabbage and purple onion.
Add a little salt to a pot of boiling water, then blanch the chicken in the water for 1-2 minutes and remove it.
Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté the shallots, garlic, and ginger until fragrant.
Then, add 2.5 quarts of water to the pot, along with 1 teaspoon of salt and the onion.
Next, add the chicken and boil for 25 minutes.
During the boiling process, skim off any foam to keep the broth clear, as you'll use the chicken broth to cook the rice and accompanying soup.
After boiling, immerse the chicken in cold water to maintain a bright and attractive color.
Strain the chicken broth and add it to the previously washed rice (use 10.5 ounces of mixed glutinous and regular rice with 2.5 bowls of chicken broth).
Mix in turmeric powder. Add star anise and cinnamon sticks to the rice cooker for additional flavor and attractive color.
Cook the rice for 30-45 minutes using the standard setting.
Marinate the purple onion with sugar to create a crunchy texture and reduce the pungent taste.
Next, finely chop the cilantro, Vietnamese coriander, and spearmint.
Once the chicken has cooled, divide it into three parts.
Set aside the wings and drumsticks, slice the thigh meat, and shred the breast meat for the salad.
Combine a little chicken broth, fish sauce, chili sauce, minced garlic, sliced chili, sugar, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Stir until the mixture dissolves. Taste and adjust to your preference.
You will also use this dressing as the dipping sauce for your chicken rice.
Combine the marinated purple onion, cabbage, and a little salt.
Add the cilantro, spearmint, Vietnamese coriander, and shredded chicken.
Pour the dipping sauce evenly over the salad and adjust the amount used to your taste.
Toss well so all ingredients absorb the flavors.
Adjust the seasoning of the chicken broth to your taste.
Now, scoop the rice into a bowl, press it slightly, and flip it onto a plate.
Place the chicken slices and drumsticks next to the rice, along with the chicken salad and accompanying soup.
Enjoy!
