Rice Cooker Chicken Rice with Ginger Soy Sauce

Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks in a single layer on top of the rice. Avoid overlapping so the chicken cooks evenly.

Close the rice cooker and cook on the regular white rice setting until the cycle finishes. Let it rest on warm for 10 minutes, then check that the chicken is fully cooked and sprinkle with sliced green onion.

While the rice rests, make the dipping sauce. In a heatproof bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and chopped chives until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp cooking oil until hot but not smoking, then carefully pour it over the ginger soy mixture. Stir well to bloom the aromatics.

Fluff the rice gently, serve each portion with a drumstick, and spoon over or dip into the ginger soy sauce. Add steamed vegetables or prawns on the side if desired.
