Instructions

1. Strain the annatto-soaked water to extract the orange-red liquid; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large, wide pan or paellera over medium heat. Sauté garlic, onion, and tomatoes until softened and fragrant.
3. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
4. Add sliced chorizo and cook briefly to release its oils, about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in the rinsed glutinous rice, coating it well with the oil and aromatics.
6. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and annatto liquid; add bay leaves and season with fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
7. Once boiling, lower heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes without stirring, until most liquid is absorbed.
8. Gently fold in the coconut cream, green peas, and bell pepper strips. Cover and continue cooking on low heat for 10-15 minutes until rice is fully cooked and tender.
9. Turn off heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
10. Garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs and grated cheese if using, then serve hot directly from the pan.
