Step 3
Turn the heat to high until it boils, then reduce to medium heat. There will be blood gunks from the chicken in water, scoop them out.

Step 6
I personally like to put the chicken back into the soup for 3 minutes to warm them up, then cut chicken.

Step 7
Serve chicken with rice and sliced cucumbers with the chicken soup. Take out some oil on top as it may be oily due to using only thigh meat.

Tips
Be free to improvise
This dish is to be fast and easy. The original recipe will use a whole chicken.
Use your rice cooker
Many other recipes suggest to cook the rice with the chicken broth from the pot. It sounds amazing to me but I do not own a rice cooker. If you do, you should definitely give it a try.
