Method
- Season chicken with fish sauce, ginger, garlic, and onion and rest 15 minutes.
- Line a clean food-safe bamboo tube or heavy pot with softened banana leaves.
- Add rinsed rice, chicken mixture, lemongrass, and stock, distributing the chicken evenly.
- Close the bamboo loosely with banana leaf so steam can escape or cover the pot tightly.
- Cook bamboo beside moderate coals, rotating carefully, or simmer the pot over very low heat until rice is tender and chicken reaches 74°C.
- Add greens for the final 5 minutes and reseal so they steam.
- Rest 10 minutes before opening and fluff gently.
