Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken and ginger in a pot, cover with 5 cups water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer and poach for 25 minutes until cooked through.

  2. 2

    Remove the chicken, reserving the broth, let it cool slightly, then hand-shred the meat into bite-size strips and discard the bones.

  3. 3

    Cook the rinsed jasmine rice with the turmeric and 2.5 cups of the reserved chicken broth in a rice cooker or covered pot until tender and golden, about 18 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  4. 4

    Toss the sliced onion, torn herbs, fish sauce, and lime juice together in a bowl to make a bright, tangy salad.

  5. 5

    Mound the turmeric rice on plates, top generously with shredded chicken, and pile the onion herb salad alongside, then serve with extra broth and chili sauce on the side.
