  • We all love a healthy dish of chicken and rice...but there is a very specific kind that I think could end them all as one of the best in the game. I'm talking real deal Hainanese Chicken.

  • @jfatsnorlax
    @jfatsnorlax 3 года назад +219

    Aight, Singaporean here. For even softer, silkier chicken, once you've submerged the chicken, and the water comes back to a boil, just keep it simmering for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and keep it there for 30 mins. The residual heat is sufficient.
    To make it real good, also reserve about a teaspoon of the aromatic chicken fat oil, and 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth, mix in 2 tablespoons of light soy, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and drizzle that shit over the chicken.

  • @ashrafrahim3813
    @ashrafrahim3813 3 года назад +171

    It is 90% accurate. Speaking as a Singaporean. The secret to this dish is the broth. The chicken fat and aromatics should be added to the broth and a scewpine leaf is to be add. The broth is the foundation to everything.

    Here's the instructions for anyone who wants it:
    1. Remove excess skin and fat from chicken and set aside.
    2. Cover chicken with a lot salt and massage the chicken. Rinse chicken completely.
    3. Submerge chicken in large pot of boiling water. Skim scum off top. If after 5 minutes there’s a lot of scum, you can switch out for fresh water.
    4. Once the water starts to boil again, reduce to a light simmer. Add one bunch of green onions cut in half, 6 whole cloves of garlic that has been peeled and crushed, and a 4 inch knob of ginger, thinly sliced. Add 1 oz of dried shiitake mushrooms. Season with salt and let simmer for 30 minutes.
    5. Get excess skin and fat, cut into small pieces.
    6. Heat large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom of the pan in a neutral oil.
    7. Once the oil is hot, toss in your skin and fat and cook until it has rendered off all of the fat, is golden brown, and is nice and cwispy.
    8. Remove skin from the skillet, leaving the fat, and chop it very finely.
    9. Add the fat back to the pan, turn the heat to medium, add a 3 inch knob of finely chopped ginger, 1 minced shallot, and three cloves of minced garlic. Season with salt, and saute until all the vegetables begin to soften.
    10. Add two cups of WASHED RICE. Cook over medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, then add all of it to a rice cooker.
    11. If chicken is ready, remove chicken and mushrooms from pot, place chicken in ice bath, rub it all over with sesame oil, and tent it with foil.
    12. Add two cups of broth to the rice and cook to rice cooker’s specifications (6 minutes on high pressure, natural release for 10 minutes).
    13. For chili sauce combine 3 tablespoons sambal, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 1.5 tablespoons sugar, the juice and zest of 1 lime, 3 cloves grated garlic, a 2 inch knob grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons chicken poaching broth. For the garlic ginger sauce combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoon rice vinegar, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, a 3 inch knob ginger finely chopped, and a pinch of salt. For the seasoned soy combine 1/3 cup dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
    14. Fluff rice, ladle broth into bowl, serve meat, serve rice. Add thinly slice cucumber, sliced mushrooms, sauce on side. Devour that shit.

    The Thai version of this dish is one of my absolute favorite dishes to eat. Seems simple enough to make, but easy to mess up if you are not paying attention. The flavor that goes into the rice from the chicken fat and broth is so important that many people in the U.S. who prepare this dish get this step wrong.
    The other great thing about Khao Man Gai/Hainanese Chicken Rice is how cheap it is in Asia. This street food staple is about $1 per portion...
    Come on America. We can do better.
    Looks like you nailed this dish. Great job Josh!

    Hainan chicken is one of my absolute favorites, I can never get sick of it. For such a simple dish it’s honestly one of the most labor intensive dishes, largely due to making sure you control the heat perfectly while you are poaching it, it’s a long song and dance with removing the scum while making sure it doesn’t over cook right before shocking it into a freezing bath of ice water. Getting the texture right is the most challenging part!

    Fun fact: Even though it's called Hainanese Chicken Rice, it's not really Hainanese in origin. It's called Hainanese Chicken Rice because it was first cooked by Hainanese immigrants in Singapore using local ingredients. If you have chicken rice in Hainan, it tastes completely different. One of the main components of Hainanese Chiken Rice is actually a common ingredient in South East Asia, the pandan leaf, which is not used in typical Chinese cuisines in Hainan.

    What a great recipe! The condiments do differ from the ones at the Hawker centre. Like the chilli, there's no sambal in there and the dark soya sauce that it's usually served with is super thick and comes right out of a bottle. For extra flavour some stores will drizzle sesame oil on top of the whole dish.
