Ingredients

• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 1/2 cup jasmine rice, rinsed well and drained
• 3 cups no-salt chicken broth
• 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 to 2 tsp chili-garlic sauce
• 113 g pkg fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and quartered
• 4 stalks gai lan or 8 baby bok choy
• 1 tsp dark sesame oil

Instructions

• Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add canola oil, then chicken. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 min per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add garlic, ginger and rice to pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 min. Add broth. Stir in hoisin and chili-garlic sauce. Arrange mushrooms and chicken over rice and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until rice is almost tender, 10 to 12 min.
• Remove lid. Lay greens over chicken and rice. Cover and continue simmering until greens are just tender, about 5 more min. Drizzle sesame oil over finished dish before serving.

Wine Pairings:

FRAGRANT CHICKEN RICE
Pair it with: A complex grape.
Although the variety is native to France’s northern Rhone valley, some of the world’s oldest marsanne vines grow in Tahbilk in Australia’s Victoria region. This is a fabulously multi-layered wine that complements Asian flavours.
Our pick: p 244 Tahbilk Marsanne, Australia, $17.
