#MysteryBag1 I actually was saving this recipe for Singapore's National Day in August, but since Cookpad is having this "Mystery Bag" competition, I thought why not? Contestants will have to create a recipe around the ingredients given inside the bag. Sounds exciting right? What really intrigued me is the list of ingredients is kept to minimal; I can either do really badly to really well. I chose 2 main ingredients for the competition. They are chicken and rice. Not just any rice. I am using black rice (well, they didn't state any specific type of rice). Yes, the forbidden rice which I had spoke about in the past. It has become my 3rd love. 1st is always pizza, 2nd is a tug of war between pasta and noodles. Anyway, I am using an old French technique to cook the chicken. It is a long process, but it is definitely worth it in the end. You can prepare days in advance as it can be kept in the fridge for up to a month. Singaporeans love their chicken rice. But quite frankly, I am never a fan. So, if I were to make a plate of chicken rice, this is how I would do it. No need for any complicated or tactical roasting or poaching method.
