Khao Mok Kai, Thai-style chicken biryani

Khao Mok Kai

Khao Mok Kai

This came out really well.  I was actually quite surprised at how much my family enjoyed it!  The five year old didn’t even complain that it was McDonald’s night for his school, because it was Thai night at home!  :D

You’ll need~

4 Chicken leg quarters
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp ground coriander seed
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder

Combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl.  Rinse the chicken, pierce with fork and massage the rub into the chicken.  Let the flavors   Roast the chicken legs at 375 degrees for about an hour.

Prepare desired amount of Jasmine rice in a rice cooker (I made enough for 5 prepared servings).  Add in 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp curry, dash of cumin and a dash of ginger.  Cook according to rice cooker directions.

Heat the oil in a wok, add garlic. Add pork, stir fry until pork is cooked. Add eggs and cook until scrambled into small lumps. Add rice and continue to stir and toss to coat with oil to prevent it from sticking. Add fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Mix well.
