Critical Success Points

  • Rinsing the rice until water is clear
  • Ensuring the correct water‑to‑rice ratio (especially with broth and turmeric)

  • Sautéing ginger‑scallion oil without burning

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate cutting board and wash hands thoroughly afterwards.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep face away while sautéing ginger‑scallion oil.
