  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 piece (2 inch) fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions
1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and ginger in the hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken; cook and stir together for 1 minute. Stir the fish sauce into the pot, cover, and cook another 2 minutes.

Pour the water and Knorr chicken powder into the pot. Add the rice and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to assure the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the green onion, black pepper and serve with lemon slices, boiled egg and additional fish sauce, if desired.
