Chicken with Ginger and Garlic Rice

This comfort food dish is generally made when certain leftovers are around the kitchen-cooked chicken, chicken stock, and cooked rice—but it’s also widely available in delis and many of Little Saigon’s more casual restaurants. This recipe may seem overly simplistic for the more adventurous, but the rice is fragrant and robust from the garlic and ginger, and the dipping sauce is a real highlight. Tofu or vegetables can be substituted for the chicken if desired.
