To prepare the chicken: Rub chicken inside out with salt, then stuff with ginger, garlic and spring onion. Boil water in a deep saucepot and put in the chicken. (the water must cover the whole chicken.)

Lower the heat and simmer the chicken for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and soak chicken for 30 minutes in the stock. Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Reserve the stock for the rice.

To prepare the rice: Heat oil and saute garlic until aromatic. Stir in rice and fry for about three to four minutes. Place rice in an electric rice cooker. Add stock, salt and pandan leaves. When rice is cooked and fluffy, scoop out with a ladle and roll into balls (while rice is still hot). Set aside.

To make the garlic chilli sauce: Mix the pounded ingredients with salt, chicken stock and lime juice. Serve in small saucers.

To make the ginger sauce: Mix the ingredients together and serve with the rice and chicken.

To serve the chicken: Rub a little sesame oil and light soy sauce over chicken. Cut into serving pieces and serve with cucumber slices and garnishing of spring onion and chinese coriander.
