Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed skillet Cast iron preferred for better char marks.

Cook Rice
  1. Rinse jasmine rice until water runs clear. Combine with water and salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes.
Prepare Chicken

Use cast iron for the best char marks on the chicken.
Rinse your rice thoroughly to ensure it remains fluffy and not sticky.
