Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 chicken bouillon cube
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt
2 cups short grain sweet rice, rinsed 3 times
3 teaspoons ground turmeric
4 links Chinese sausage (lap xuong), sliced on the bias in 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup raisins
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 large carrot, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
One 10-ounce bag frozen peas
2 to 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced into quarters lengthwise
2 to 3 scallions, greens only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Dissolve the bouillon cube in 2 cups of hot water in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. dd the onions and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions start to become translucent, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until the chicken is opaque but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and turmeric and stir until the turmeric is evenly distributed. Add the sausage, raisins, coconut milk and bouillon broth and stir for 1 minute. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes.
  • Add the red and green bell peppers, carrots and peas and gently stir. Continue to cook the rice covered until the vegetables are slightly softened and there is no more liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with the hard-boiled eggs and scallions.

Tips

- For the best results, use short-grain or medium-grain rice. These types of rice absorb more liquid and become plump and tender when cooked. - Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from clumping together. - Use a large pot or skillet to cook the rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to expand and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. - Add a little bit of salt to the water when cooking the rice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the rice. - Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and become even more flavorful.

Conclusion

Arroz Valenciana is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, Arroz Valenciana is a surefire hit at any party or gathering.
