Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Pour steamed rice (0.5 kg) into a deep bowl, rinse it well with cold running water. We carry out this procedure several times until the water becomes clear.
   
2. We take 400 g of carrots, wash it thoroughly under running water, peel it, and cut it into small cubes on a cutting board. To quickly peel carrots, use a special knife to peel vegetables.
   
3. We peel the onion (200 g) from the husk, wash it with cold water, cut into small cubes with a knife.
   
4. Turn on the hob on medium heat, set a 3-liter cauldron on it. If you do not have such a cauldron, you can take a pan with a double bottom of the appropriate size. Pour 100 ml of sunflower oil into a cauldron, heat it over a fire. When the oil starts to produce mini-bubbles, you can add vegetables.
   
5. Pour onion, chopped into small cubes, into hot oil, stir it with a tablespoon, bring it to a state of transparency. Add carrots, chopped into small squares, to the onion, bring to a boil, continuously mix with a tablespoon.
   
6. We take 800 g of chicken, washed with cold running water, remove excess moisture with paper towels. On a clean cutting board, cut into medium-sized rectangles.
   
7. When the carrots and onions have turned golden, add chopped chicken, periodically mix so that the meat does not burn. When the chicken is cooked, it needs to be slightly salted, pepper with ground black pepper.
   
8. Pour rice into a cauldron with chicken and vegetables. No need to mix. Leave on medium heat for about 5 minutes for better steaming. Pour 4 cups of pure water on top of rice, pour spices for pilaf (1 tbsp), do not mix. Cover, reduce heat to a minimum. Bring the rice to readiness, its size should increase, and the liquid absorbed.
   
9. A tablespoon very carefully and gently mix pilaf. Take 4 cloves of garlic, peel it, wash it under running water.
   
10. 5 minutes before the end of cooking pilaf in the middle of the rice, spread the peeled garlic. Try it, maybe you need to add salt or pepper.
    

Please note that rice is not mixed during cooking.
