    Hey mate, couple weeks back my wife made your HCR recipe, and we were both blown away at how good it was, especially the rice... SO GOOD. The next week I made your BKT recipe and it was exactly what my wife has been searching for, when thinking about this soup her gramma made, but didn't know what it was called. So thank you for posting these videos and recipes!

    Something I found out as an amateur home cook is that you must season everything. It doesn't mean it tastes salty, but it means you get every component to shine. Seeing a pro chef do it makes me feel better about this choice.

    Thanks Liz, this really brings me back to cooking in my room at Uni... my mum literally got me a rice cooker, and my dad taught me how to marinade different meats and I just threw everything in the cooker, whether it was shiitake mushroom with chicken in oyster sauce or pork and aubergine all went so well with rice and cooked within 30 minutes in the rice cooker... it still blows my mind how quick and easy it was and so many students eat crap because no one taught them how to do this, so thanks for sharing and I hope more students see your videos or someone can show them how... :)

      Great idea! My parents taught me how to cook, but they never adjusted their techniques beyond what they already knew. It's a shame cuz they were doing the 9-5 with 4 kids and never thought once to make food like this. The power of information... I must teach my boys these kinds of shortcuts where you cut down 50% or more of the work for 80-90% of the quality.

    I do this mostly with just Knorr chicken seasoning powder. And you're missing the chilli sauce. Just roughly blend up some chillis, put in that garlic ginger paste, some soup stock, salt, sugar, and some lemon if you like. Usually the soy sauce mix is just sesame oil and some soup stock to dilute it a little, no sugar. The slight tangy sweetness usually comes from the chilli sauce. I'm not in Singapore or Malyasia where you can just find a chicken rice shop to buy this, so I've also learned to make do with cooking this in a rice pot as well. And I also use frozen boneless chicken thighs because they are cheap. Wouldn't call this Hainanese chicken rice at all really, since the chicken meat is not dunked in cold water after boiling, which is the most crucial step in the dish. But yeah, beggars can't be choosers and this is a decently simple way to get really nice chicken rice, minus all the hard work.

    for those that want to get the chicken less tough and more tender, put it in when the rice if almost cooked and then let the residual steam finish the meat off by waiting 1 hr. the light heat won't make the chicken tough or scratchy as we say in chinese

    When you see the steam come raging out of the rice cooker you could remove the chicken (perhaps pick deboned) and it might be done ? (Just guessing - always seems to be 10 mins before the rice cooker says rice is ready).

    That's a very simple Hainanese chicken rice and nothing wrong with that. Some steps are optional for example the ice bath and I don't see scallions. In my opinion, what makes the dish even better is the soya sauce and dipping/chilli sauce. Yes, I believe I can do better than that. Not saying I'm better than Liz but she is just making a very simple chicken rice. A good video for the viewers that never cooked the dish before.

    Will try it . . . but will use bone-in thighs (cut a few slits in the thick parts) instead and add a little corn starch to the sesame-soy sauce to make more of a glaze. I don't have a rice cooker, but two 'insta' pot pressure cookers. I just made Spanish Rice in one for the first time and got that perfect 'crusty rice' on the bottom. Should work for this dish.

      @@jamescorrigan6063 Chef criticized substituting a whole chicken saying the boneless thighs were overcooked.
      I'm going to try bone-in, which is closer to whole chicken . . . and the pressure cooker will infuse the flavors more.
      Or . . . maybe I'm too cheap to buy boned thighs, or buy a rice cooker. One must adapt, maybe improve, get closer to the long authentic recipe maybe cooked in ancient clay pots.

    Sorry. I've been hanging around with those frenchies for too long.
