Add 2 tablespoons ghee to a dutch oven over med-high heat and add half of garlic. Sauté until golden brown. Remove from dutch oven, set aside.

1. Make Garlic Chips

Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to pot. Add ginger & garlic, sauté for 1 min over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 8 mins until no longer pink. 

2. Sauté Aromatics, Add Chicken

Season to preference with kosher salt and add fish sauce. Add rice and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring to allow flavors to meld.

3. Add Rice 

Add chicken stock and stir constantly. It's important to keep a consistent stir for 10 minutes, as this will allow rice to release starch and thicken the stock.

Simmer for 20 mins. Adjust seasoning with kosher salt & fish sauce. Add pepper and stir. Remove pot from heat and cover. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow to thicken. 

5. Continue to Simmer
