Instructions

Marinate the chicken

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken with fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, five-spice powder, garlic, and shallots.

  • Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavour.

Cook the chicken

  • Heat a skillet with a little butter. Pan-sear the chicken until golden on both sides and caramelised on the surface. Let it rest briefly.

Make the garlic fried rice

  • Sauté the minced garlic in butter or oil until lightly golden and fragrant.

  • Add the rice and stir-fry until evenly heated and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble and melt the cheese

  • Transfer the rice to an oven-safe dish or mould and flatten it evenly. Top with the cooked chicken.

  • Sprinkle with Emborg shredded mozzarella (and Emborg Parmigiano Reggiano, if using).

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 5–6 minutes, or microwave for about 1 minute, until the cheese melts and lightly browns.

To Serve

  • Garnish with fried shallots and extra pepper.

  • Serve hot with fresh vegetables, herbs, pickles, and dipping sauce of your choice.

Add sweetcorn or peas to the rice for colour and texture variation. You can also air-fry the chicken for a crispier, less oily version.
