Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small pot, bring the 1 cup chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Keep warm while you prepare the rest.

  2. Step 2

    In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, add the 1 cup pork skin and cook until crispy and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 0.5 cucumber into thin rounds. Place the 2 cups cooked rice in a bowl, top with the 1 cup shredded chicken, cucumber slices, and crispy pork skin.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the warm broth over the rice and chicken. Drizzle with the 2 tbsp red chili sauce and serve immediately.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: add sliced onion or fresh herbs like cilantro if you have them.
