Показать описание

Cooking Hainanese chicken rice at home 🤤 Feeling under the weather so made this easy and comforting Hainanese chicken rice inspired dish for the first time and this is how I made it! Absolutely not a chef but so happy with how it turned out nonetheless. So comforting, nourishing and healing for the soul. I forgot to add coriander and cucumber slices to garnish but that would make it even better!

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE 🐔:

- 1 whole chicken (or thighs for quicker cooking)
- Crushed cloves of garlic
- Ginger
- Spring onion
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- Washed rice
- Coarse salt

GINGER AND SPRING ONION SAUCE:

- Minced ginger, spring onion and garlic
- Sizzling vegetable oil
- Salt and sugar to taste
- 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon

RED CHILLIS SAUCE:
- Chopped chillis
- Minced ginger and garlic
- 1 tsp fish sauce (optional)
- Chicken broth
- 1 tsp light soy sauce
- Dash of vinegar/lemon/lime juice

1. Prepare spring onion, ginger and crushed garlic then add to a bubbling pot of water with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2. Wash and dry your chicken, trim off fat and excess skin then set aside (for fragrant chicken rice)
3. Rub coarse salt all over chicken then lower into pot and change to a low-medium simmering heat. Poach until cooked (I did 45 mins but that was slightly too much)
4. Once done, put chicken in ice bath for 15 mins to stop the cooking process
5. Mince garlic, ginger, spring onion and chopped chillis for your sauces then season (ingredients above)
6. For the rice, cook off the chicken skin and fat, add minced garlic, ginger and spring onion to the mix, then the washed rice and 6 cups of the chicken broth. Leave the rice to cook and absorb those flavours!
7. Remove bones and slice up your chicken then serve with rice and sauces
8. Garnish with coriander and cucumber slices and enjoy!
