Finely dice spring onions and set aside. Slice cucumbers into 3 mm thick pieces at an angle and set aside for serving. Wash chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towel. In a small bowl, combine the chicken with Ahh Maa Meat Marinade and minced lemongrass, then set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

In a small serving bowl, combine Ahh Maa Vietnamese Dipping Sauce with Ahh Maa Chilli & Garlic Paste for some added spice, or simply enjoy the Ahh Maa Dipping Sauce on its own for no spice. Set aside for serving. 

Rinse broken rice under cold water until clear. Add rinsed rice, water (1 cup per serving), and vegetable oil (2 tsp per serving). Cook on the preferred rice setting of your rice cooker.

Preheat the air fryer to 195°C. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 15–17 minutes, flipping mid way through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a slight char along the edges. Remove once golden brown and cooked through.

Don’t own an air fryer? Using a medium pan on medium high heat, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil and cook chicken thighs for 15–17 minutes, flipping mid way through to ensure they cook evenly and develop a slight char along the edges. Remove once golden brown and cooked through.

In a small bowl, microwave diced spring onions with vegetable oil (⅔ of the height of the spring onions) for 30 seconds. Set aside for serving. 

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Crack an egg into the hot oil and fry until the edges turn crispy while keeping the yolk slightly runny. Remove the egg and set aside. Repeat this step for each serving, using one egg per person.

On a serving plate, spread a generous scoop of broken rice. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place it beside the rice along with a fried egg. Drizzle a generous amount of the scallion oil over the chicken, rice and egg. Repeat this step for each serving.

Add sliced cucumbers and sliced pickled carrots and radish to the side of the serving plate. Repeat this step for each serving. Serve with the prepared Vietnamese dipping sauce and generously drizzle it over the dish before consuming.
