Tips

  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 4-5 minutes then chop into cubes, utilizing all the flavorful juices left in the pan.
  • When cooking rice, check halfway to mix, which prevents sticking.
  • Store the special garlic white sauce in a bottle.
  • Store the fresh crunchy slaw separately.
