    Used Rosa Matta rice to good effect

    Too much fish sauce for us. Otherwise just ok in our book.

    Sorry to say that this one didn't work for us -- despite soaking the rice in hot water for several hours, it was still crunchy (actually a combination of crunchy and mushy) even after extra time in the oven. I thought at first maybe it needed more water, but I think that the oven just wasn't hot enough to cook it. And although I like this flavor combo with white rice, it didn't seem so great with the brown. No one loved it, and I ended up tossing all of the rice leftovers. Probably not worth tinkering with for us.

    Flavors were spectacular, however, even though I continued roasting for at least 20 minutes longer than called for in the recipe, the rice was pretty undercooked. I soaked for the full two hours, and use two cups of broth - it just didn’t seem to soak it all up and get fully soft. I’d still make it again, I’ll just have to figure out how to pre-cook the rice a bit.

    This dish is deeply soothing -- a savory stew -- but spiked with gobs of ginger (six tablespoons!), ample garlic (another three tablespoons), fish sauce, and soy sauce. It lies somewhere between a bog, Hainanese chicken, a roast chicken, and jok/congee. It is utterly fantastic. I thought that the rice would be significantly undercooked (I bumped up the broth to 2 cups) but instead the submerged pieces were well cooked - firm-ish, however -- and the top ones remained crispy. The overall effect was absolutely perfect. My family already declared this will be made more often. PS I soaked the rice for two hours and cooked the dish for the full 1 hr 45 mins.
