instructions
    1

    Begin by boiling a pot of water. Add the whole chicken, 2 pieces of ginger, and 4 cloves of garlic to the pot. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

    2

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool. Reserve the broth for later use.

    3

    In the same pot, rinse 2 cups of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice to the broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 20 minutes.

    4

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and add the juice of 1 lime.

    5

    Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and serve it alongside the sliced chicken.

    6

    Garnish with fresh cucumber slices, cilantro, and drizzle the sauce over the top.
