Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups jasmine rice uncooked, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ginger sliced
- 1 pound chicken thighs bone-in, skinless
- 8 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup green onions sliced, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons fried garlic for garnish

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the chicken thighs and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the rice. Stir well.
- Season with fish sauce and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

- Serve hot, garnished with green onions and fried garlic. Squeeze lemon juice on top before eating.
Notes
Adjust the consistency by adding more or less broth as desired. This dish is traditionally served with calamansi, but lemons can be used as a substitute.
