Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients

   Time: PT10M

   In a bowl combine the chicken Maryland with 3 g salt, 3 g sugar, 5 ml light soy sauce, and 9 g oyster sauce. Toss to coat evenly and let rest for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

3. Sear the chicken

   Heat the large skillet over medium‑high heat (about 375°F). Add 1 tbsp neutral oil, then place the chicken skin‑side down. Cook 6‑7 minutes until the skin is golden and releases easily, then flip and cook another 6‑7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 375°F

4. Start the rice

   While the chicken cooks, add the rinsed rice to the medium saucepan. Pour in 275 ml chicken stock, 3 g salt, a pinch of black pepper, 5 ml light soy sauce, 5 g oyster sauce, 5 ml sesame oil, the minced garlic and ginger. Stir once, cover, and bring to a gentle boil.

   Time: PT5M

5. Simmer the rice

   Reduce heat to low, keep the lid on, and let the rice simmer for 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

   Time: PT15M

6. Make soy dipping sauce

   In a small saucepan combine 30 ml dark soy sauce, 30 ml chicken stock, 2.5 ml sesame oil, and 1.5 g sugar. Warm over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

   Time: PT3M

7. Make spicy chili sauce

   In another small saucepan mix 20 g Sriracha, 30 ml chicken stock, 2.5 g sugar, and 18 ml fresh lime juice. Heat gently for 2‑3 minutes, stirring to blend.

   Time: PT3M

8. Prepare green sauce

   Heat 30 ml neutral oil in a small pan over medium‑high until it is smoking hot (just before it starts to smoke). Quickly add the chopped green onion, 10 g minced garlic, 10 g minced ginger, and 1.8 g salt. Whisk vigorously, then drizzle in 30 ml sesame oil to create an emulsified, glossy sauce. Remove from heat immediately.

   Time: PT5M

9. Plate and serve

   Slice the rested chicken breastwise. Place a generous mound of jasmine rice on each plate, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle any or all of the three sauces. Garnish with the reserved green‑onion strips and optional tomato, cucumber, and cilantro.
