📝 Preparation Steps
1
Mince garlic and shallots.
2
To make the marinade, mix 1/2 cup coconut milk, minced garlic and shallots, 1 tablespoon red curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Squeeze half lime and mix together. Add your chicken thigh and marinate for ⏱️ 5 minutes (or as long as it takes for you to wash your rice). (Optional) Don’t waste the marinade, you can re-use it to marinate more chicken or boil the sauce for ⏱️ 5 minutes so you can mix on top of your rice!

Wash 2 cups of jasmine rice using the Zojirushi rice cup. Wash 5-7 times until the water runs clear. Washing the starch off the rice helps make the rice more delicious! Make sure to strain your rice and there is no leftover water. The correct water and rice ratio ensures tender (not mushy) rice and cooked chicken.

Next, add water to line 2 for jasmine rice in the pot (if you don’t have this, see notes for US measuring cup measurements). We don’t need to add too much water because the chicken will provide some moisture to the rice and we don’t want soggy rice 😉

Add the marinated chicken (don't add the liquid marinade to the rice or it will be too soggy) on top of the rice and place the rice in the rice cooker! Press the 'cook' button on the rice cooker. I used the ‘jasmine’ setting on my rice cooker. You can use ‘jasmine’ or ‘white rice’ setting.
6
Once your rice is ready and cooked, let it rest in the rice cooker for ⏱️ 15 minutes! I know this is hard but this helps make your rice more fluffy and moist!
7
Garnish the rice with cilantro, thai red chilis, and cucumbers (optional). To serve, mix the rice together and eat the rice while warm. Hope you enjoy!
