                                                                   Khao Mun Gai

Chicken Stock

A whole chicken about five pounds

1 1/2 Gallons of water

5 Stems of Celery

2 big onions

3 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon of salt

Directions

1. Put everything in a big pot and turn on the heat on high until it bubbles then reduce the heat to medium. Let it boil about an hour or until the chicken is cooked. 

Oily Rice

Jasmine Rice 2 cups

Sweet Rice (Sticky Rice) 1/4 cup

Chicken Broth 2 1/2 cups (from the soup above)

3-5 Tablespoons of vegetable oil

2 Tablespoons of chopped garlic

2-3 Pieces of ginger (50-70 grams)

Method

1. Put the Jasmine rice and Sweet rice together in a big bowl and rinse it with cold water then use a strainer to separate them. Set  aside the rice.

2. Use a big wok, turn the heat on, add the oil and wait until it's hot then put the garlic. Fry until it turns yellow then add the rice from earlier in the big pan. Stir it up constantly until it becomes a little sticky. That would take about one minute. 

3. Take all the rice out of the wok and put it in a rice cooker, add the soup, and the ginger. Turn on the switch of the rice cooker and wait until the rice done.

While we wait for rice to be done let's make the sauce.

Sauce
Ingredients 

5 Tablespoons of Soy bean paste (or you could use black soy sauce)

4 Tablespoons of Ginger

3 Tablespoons of garlic

1 Tablespoon of Thai hot pepper (Or any kind that you can find)

3 Tablespoons of vinegar

3 Tablespoons of Sugar

1 Tablespoon of thin soy sauce 

2 Tablespoons of water

Method 

Mix everything well in a blender or food processor and pour it in a bowl.

After finished everything then put the rice on a plate then the chicken (pull into small peaces)on the top. Put the soup in a small bowl. For the sauce some people just pour it on the top of the chicken and rice but if you not sure you will like it or not then put in a small bowl. Add some cucumbers or any kind of vegetable that you prefer.
