Description
Here is a very low cost and simple recipe for a great Vietnamese chicken recipe, Maho. It is something we eat on a regular basis, and my toddler likes it too, so you know it is yummy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked white rice
- 4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
- ½ cup dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts
- 4 large leaves of iceberg lettuce
- 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
Directions
- 1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the rice stand, covered, while you finish the dish.
- 2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, and cook and stir the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken, and cook and stir until seared and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce and peanuts, and cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink inside, and the soy sauce has coated the chicken and peanuts, 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken mixture from the heat.
- 3. Line 4 plates with lettuce leaves, and scoop 1 cup of cooked rice onto each leaf. Top with chicken-peanut mixture, and sprinkle each plate with mandarin orange slices.
