Cut your chicken into cubes. If there are bones, keep the bones for the soup.
In a large pot, heat some oil. Toss in the chicken and begin to brown it. You don't need to cook the chicken all the way through at this stage.
After the chicken is cooked on the outside, add the garlic, onions and ginger. Allow these aromatics to saute and develop. Add salt and pepper.
Next, add the uncooked rice. Stir to mix well and then add the chicken broth. Here you can add more chicken broth or even just water to thin out the mixture
Add the fish sauce. Cover and simmer for at least 45 minutes.
At this point you can adjust all flavors to your taste. You can add more water or chicken broth or add more salt and pepper.
I like to garnish the final plate with chopped cilantro, green onions and century egg but these are totally optional!
