Hainanese Chicken Rice is a popular dish originating from Hainan Province in southern China. It features tender poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, along with flavorful sauces and fresh garnishes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Bring water to a boil in a big pot

Put in the whole chicken and cook for 30 minutes, or until it's done

Take the chicken out of the pot and put it in a bowl of ice water to cool down

Keep the chicken broth aside to use when you cook rice

Set the sesame oil on medium heat in a different pot

Put in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook until the food smells good

Mix the jasmine rice with oil after adding it to the pot

Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper that you saved from the chicken broth

Mix well

Bring the rice mix to a boil, then turn down the heat

Put the lid on top and let it cook slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and cooked

Prepare the toppings while the rice is cooking

Cut the cucumber into thin slices and chop the cilantro and green onions very small

After the chicken has cooled, cut it up into pieces that are ready to serve

Put the chicken on a plate with cooked rice
