Step by Step Method

Step 1

Put the rice in a bowl with a few cups of water.

Step 2

Gently swirl your fingers in the bowl to allow the starch to separate from the grains.

Step 3

Once the water becomes white, drain and repeat this process twice more.

Step 4

With each time, the water will get less cloudy.

Step 5

The idea is not to get rid of all the starch, just enough so that the rice will not be too sticky or too dry when cooked.

Step 6

Put the rice in a sieve and drain until the rice is fairly dry.

Step 7

Put the rice and chicken stock in a medium clay pot or heavy-bottomed pot and stir to level the rice.

Step 8

Cover the pot and cook the rice over medium heat until it has absorbed all the stock, about 25 minutes.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and with a wooden spoon stir in shallots, mint, and chicken until evenly mixed. Allow to rest covered for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 10

Drizzle nuoc cham over each serving.
