Ingredients:

- 3 cups shredded grilled chicken

- 2 cups sweet rice

- 1 tsp salt

- 1 tsp sugar

- 2 tbsp coconut oil

- 1/3 cup coconut cream or milk

- 2 cups of white onion slices

-2 tbsp vegetable oil

- Seasoning spices:

  - 1 tbsp light soy sauce

  - 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  - 1 tbsp sugar

  - 1 tsp chicken powder

  - 1 tsp garlic powder

Toppings:

-  2 green onion slices to make scallion oil

- Fried onions are available for purchase at Vietnamese grocery markets

- 1/4 cup oil

Directions:

1. Wash sticky rice and soak overnight. The next day, bring the steamer to boil. Mix sticky rice with salt, sugar, and coconut oil evenly. Put it on and steam it until it's cooked. Occasionally water the sticky rice with coconut milk to keep it shiny and not dry.

2. Put the cooked chicken in a large bowl. Mix well with marinade and set aside.

3. Put a large pan on the stove. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, turn down the heat, and sauté the onions until golden brown. Then add the chicken and stir-fry until fragrant. Season to taste. Everything is cooked so this step only takes about 10 minutes.

4. Take a small bowl and put thinly sliced green onions into the bowl. Add a little salt and sugar and mix well. In a sauté pan, add 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of pre-made fried onions from the market and bring to a boil. Be careful not to let the onions burn. When the onions are cooked, turn off the heat. Using a small sieve, pour hot oil with fried onions through this sieve over the bowl of green onions. The hot oil will cook the green onions.

After the sticky rice is cooked, mix in the fragrant stir-fried chicken.

Scoop the sticky rice onto a plate, sprinkle with fried onions, and drizzle a little scallion oil on top.

You can sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts and sesame seeds on top.
