Plov (Turkmenistan)

Was bored studying during the weekend that I attempted to cook Plov! Finally, after procrastinating for years! Plov is my favourite national dish of Turkmenistan. Made it with Mommy's help! Plov turned out just the way Chynar cooked it! Delicious!


Ingredients: (Makes 4 servings)

7 Carrots (halved and chopped)
5 Onions (Diced and cubed)
1/2 Chicken (We used 3 boneless chicken thighs)
2 Cups Nishiki Japanese rice (Sushi rice)

Instructions:

1) Heat up enough oil to cover the pan, preferably non stick pan.
2) Salt the chicken and fry till golden brown.
3) Remove chicken and let it sit for awhile.
4) Fry the onions till soft.
5) Put in the carrots and mix till soft.
6) Cook for 3 minutes and put in 1/2 cup of water to steam and simmer the onions and carrots.
7) Pour in 4 cups of water. Wait till water is bubbling.
8) Wash the rice 3 times and put it into the pot with the chicken, onions and carrots.
9) Mix it every 5-10 minutes on low heat.
10) Add 1 tablespoon of salt.

SERVE AND ENJOY!
