5 Spice Chicken with Jade Rice

Fairly recently two of my favorite bloggers each posted one of these recipes, Birin from Roti and Rice made a wonderful 5 spice whole roasted chicken and Ann from Anncoo Hobby made a Jade fried rice.  This inspired me to combine the two and what a great pairing it was.







Ingredients:

  

marinade for chicken 

• 1/2 teaspoon 5 spice powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger/garlic paste
• one tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce 
• dash of sesame oil 

for the rice:

• one cup of cooked rice
• one cup of spinach 
• 2 cloves of chopped garlic 
• 2 eggs whisked a little with a pinch of salt and pepper 
• dash of soy sauce 
• 1/4 an onion chopped 

Method:

1. combine the ingredients for the chicken marinade and marinate the chicken in it for a couple of hours, I cooked a couple of chicken quarters
2. roast in oven with a lid at 350 for 20 minutes and then another 15- 20 minutes with the lid of
3. for the Jade fried rice, I sauteed the garlic with the spinach until it cooked down then blended it 
4. I then stir fried the onion in a wok on high added the rice, spinach and egg and stirred like crazy to cook the egg :-)
