    Can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts, and fermented soybean paste for white miso.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    great weeknight meal! I took the extra time and made the rice with the poaching liquid, worth it!

    This is SO delicious considering how easy it is to make and how simple the ingredients are. A great recipe if you have a variety of picky children to feed-- everything is "plain" and served separately (but somehow still tastes delicious)!

    Easy, nice dinner. We served it with rice and broth on the bottom, topped with the chicken, sauce, and cucumber slices.

    Very easy, delicious and family friendly, and with the five components (chicken, rice, broth, sauce and cucumber), one recipe allows you to produce a more than complete family meal. The flavor is light. You could add some better than bouillon to make the broth more flavorful. It inspires me to try slightly more complicated versions like the ones in Molly Baz and Pepper Teigen’s recent cookbooks.

    One of my favorite recipes in the book! It's a decently good copycat of Nong's Khao Man Gai, except for the rice which was lacking that chickeny flavor. Despite that, eating this chicken and drinking the broth feels so restorative and comforting. My husband isn't as big of a fan, but I love it.

    An incredibly easy riff on this recipe, the broth is outstanding. I used Thai bean paste but my kids might prefer miso. Use the broth to cook jasmine rice to accompany the chicken
