In a world where cynicism goes rampant, usually content creators try to be positive, but a lot of them fall short and they are just like "artificial sweeteners". It's really refreshing to watch a man like this one; enjoying his craft, showing a natural smile, a natural behaviour, Thanks a lot for your videos.
That is so fantastically put. Couldn't agree more! I mean, you can see love he has for food, and this dish in particular, in the way he speaks. Refreshing indeed!
I definitely felt the passion in what he was doing. So I shall make it too. His warmth radiates and that's just everything when it comes to delivering good food.
@5thSuit What I meant (and I guess there is no need for explanation since you are just trying to look smart anyways) is some content creators are just "faking" positive attitudes but in a shallow and apparent way, sometimes even being cringy.
The technique of cooking the chicken is not revealed i.e. the temperature of the water and the time required to cook the chicken 🐔. The perfect Hainanese chicken requires these information. It is easy to cook but difficult to master.
@@ronniefoo163 ::: He has a web page with the full details of cooking the chicken and everything else. It was listed under the video in the SHOW MORE area. But I agree, it would have been nice to have more details in the video. adamliaw.com/recipe/hainanese-chicken-rice/
Both my parents are Hainanese and chicken rice is something that really is close to the heart. It's something that my grandparents would cook every time we had those big family dinners, noisy rowdy affairs with Grandma making sure us grandkids had like 3 bowls of rice minimum. Those days are pass now, they are now in heaven. Thanks for the vid :)
Haha, yes. My late grandma always used to say to make sure to cook double the amount of rice that you would normally make for the same number of people, because people eat more when it's chicken rice!
Like you Adam, this is my favourite! I was introduced to this by my Boston cousin. Man...ever since that day, it is what I order at the take out. Since you posted last year, I have been making this at home. I saved this video in my playlist and I am cooking it today. Always , I re watch it before I cook it so that I don’t miss a step. My Boston cousin even got me the poultry hooks and sent them to me. I am set! My hubby says this is so tasty and healthy . He can’t eat too much red meat so it’s chicken 100 ways ! 😂 My new Singaporean friend is impressed that I know how to cook this dish. Cause not many western people know this dish......hahaha. Thanks for posting !
I live 8600 miles away from my family and this recipe brings me straight home back to my childhood. Mother has been bead ridden for 10 years can no longer cook her children’s favorite-chicken rice and I miss her cooking very much. Thank you for sharing your amazing video.
You cannot believe how I happy your Haianese chicken and rice made my husband! I have been married 50 years and never attempted this til you showed me how simple this can be. Thank you Adam, you are a wonder cook!
The best cooking show I have ever come across, authentic, informative, story telling, simple and easy to follow recipe. Plus your calm voice is absolutely appreciated to the ppl who are new to cooking world!
Adam could be talking all day and I wouldn't budge while listening to him. Couldn't imagine how a soft-spoken voice could contain so much passion until now. Cheers to the awesome production and recipes!
Adam Liam is a true people’s chef. He teaches you how to cook not like a typical celebrity chef that shows off. Love every episode that chef Adam produces.
*wow* Both you and your production team deserve accolades for this video. The recipe, the story, the music, all of the visual components, the cooking tips ... just, everything just made this an "I'm passing it along to my family" video. Absolutely lovely!
I can't agree more with you! I tried to achieve the same quality with my own videos. I am sure his videos takes up few days to edit and shoot! great content!
I can now take my hainanese chicken rice to master chef level !!! 😋😋😋 I cooked it tonight and hubby said yummm yummm....better than restaurants we go to. This is one of my favourite dishes , pure heaven ! Thanks for the story behind this dish ,and for the wonderful tips to make this a master chef level. I have passed along the video link to my family and extended family.....cause it is too good to keep this secret to myself.
You are one of the best home-cooks MasterChef Australia has produced. Your passion for food reflects in your cooking. You're your own Nigella. The food looks soulful. 🤗
I don't know how I even found your channel, but it's probably the best one for asian food on the whole bloody site. This is the best thing I ate at any time I visited SE Asia in the Navy, I probably tried 20 different places in Singapore and they were all amazing. I'll make this version next time I do it for the family. Thanks for the great content, man.
This must be my 10th time watching this. One of the things I LOVED while I lived in Singapore was this. I couldn't find a restaurant that has this in the US (at least where I live) so I followed your recipe over and over again because it tastes just like what I had back in the day. So thank you so much. Love your work Adam keep it up!
I just discovered this man's channel and I must say I could watch his video for days even if I'm not cooking. It's so soothing, wholesome, lit, educative, more lit, more soothing, ASRM-ry, Calm, Cool, and 195+ Adjectives. Thanks man. Keep making videos like this!
Finally, a video where the creator is informative but doesnt talk too much. Explains the history and method without unecessary chatter....soothing voice, soithing background music. Perfect.
There's an ASMR quality to Adam's voice. I really like how soft spoken he is, and somehow he instantly gives off a very friendly and approachable vibe. I especially appreciate how he breaks down the components of the dishes that he cooks - this way, it makes it less scary for first timers; oh, so we start of with part 1, then move on to part 2 and then part 3... then voila!
There are many channels out there that teach us how to cook these. But I find Adams teaching to be very informative and very professional, explaining every little things and very attention to detail
One thing I love about this video is his voice and the way he talked and cooked is very soothing, sort of laid back, nice and easy cooking show. Definitely different from the usual fast pace cooking programme. It's refreshing!
Yesterday in the night I arrived in Singapore. This morning I went to a Hawker Center near me. Without knowing what a big deal this dish is, I choose it. And it was good in its very unique way. I would call it gentle, what I never called a dish. It may look and sound boring and I can't find a word that sounds exiting and fits this dish. Yet it was so good, I will eat it tomorrow again and I instantly had to Google the recipe, to see, if I can make it at home. I'm so glad, I found this channel. This gentleman has such a classy, attitude, it is rare in social media.
Cooked this, it was amazing! I made ramen, chinese dumplings and now this following your recipes, it’s soo amazingly good ❤️ you are the only good thing that happened to me this past 6 months 😂🌶❤️
Just made this for the first time today during this quarantine cookathon. The teen, tween, 4 yr old, and hubby all raved it’s one of the best dishes I ever made! Thank you sooo much for the recipe!!!
One of my favourite places in my apartment is the kitchen.. but looking at his kitchen set up, there is a zen feeling to it. watched this video while studying and the stress level just reduced. really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work !
I fell in love with Chicken Rice in Singapore and my version of it is a big favourite with my family. I roast the chicken with the aromatics and then use the rendered chicken fat from that to fry the rice. The reason I roast it is because the boiling method takes more time and I don't find boiled chicken particularly appetising. That ginger chilli sauce looks amazing and I'll have to try that next time I make it.
Watched the video 9999999 times before finally doing it. Followed 90% of this recipe, was afraid poaching chicken in the stock for 45mins won't be enough so I boiled some stock a day before that I used for poaching the chicken. I liked the result, everybody loved it. Great video, how natural you speak made it so inspiring to follow. Thanks!
Just discovered this channel thanks to youtube. I remember watching Adam from Masterchef (and his reaction to the snow egg!) and he was my favorite contestant throughout the show, really humble and hardworking. Great videos, just one suggestion if not incorporated already - please taste your dish at the end and describe the flavors/textures (and maybe the right way to eat a dish for folks like me who haven't traveled a lot). Thanks!
Adam was always one of my favourite Masterchef contestants and this video perfectly encompasses why. He is so wholesomely passionate about the food especially when cooking a dish that is so close to his heart such as this one. I am currently on a holiday in Thailand and on my first day in Bangkok I got some Hainanese Chicken Rice for the first time. At first I thought it looked too simple and unappealing but the flavour was incredible and I'll never underestimate a dish on looks alone again!! Beautiful video Adam, thanks for being a breath of fresh air on RUclips.
Chap, I’m so glad to have found this channel, for real. At the beginning of the video I thought that it’s almost impossible to recreate your recipe (mortar, hooks for chicken, rice cooker, that wooden thingy), but in the end it was absolutely irrelevant! What matters is the general atmosphere, the sincere attitude of yours, the quality of the video - everything came up together like a perfect Hainanese chicken rice! Thank you so much
Thank you finally for a chef who knows what he’s talking about! As a chef / hospitality professional for 25+ years, and traveling for a minute, I can attest these are solid tips
Anybody notice how kind and open this dude is? He was like you don't have to use a rice cooker, or a mortal and pestle, or etc. You can still make Hainanese chicken rice well without all of it. Quite a different feeling you get compared to all the purists out there.
I'm Hainanese and my family and I would eat this dish like every Sunday lol (not as often anymore) and this was so cool to watch!! Makes me happy :) hopefully it passes on!
THIS IS the tutorial ive been looking for for the past 5 YEARS!! Thank you soooo much for this!! If you know how to make Roti Canai too pleasee I would love to learn that as well!
I searched for chicken rice to just cook the rice but i ended up watching the whole thing without skipping. It's so calming to watch your video! Im glad that i clicked this and im definitely subscribing!!
I had to give up my cat this week and it's been really hard on me. I haven't been able to stop crying for a few days now but I remembered how therapeutic this video was and how therapeutic Adam's voice was so I came back to watch. This will not bring my cat back to me but I feel a little more relaxed right now.
But chinese aunties say otherwise. When we tell them its harmless and they ask for proof. we show them the numerous studies done on msg to which they say "fake news" "hoax"
PumpkinsnBlackcats okay, but that’s an allergy… people can be allergic to anything lol I think they were more talking about the headlines that claim eating MSG will kill you, which is untrue unless you’re allergic
I am a singaporean studying overseas in the UK right now. I woke up one day having dreamt of chicken rice, first thing i did was to search on youtube "how to cook chicken rice", After watching your video, the calmness and serenity in voice actually made me fall right back to sleep. Great story telling, thank you for sharing your family recipe with us. I will definitely be trying it out later.
Big boss its a dream, becoming a chicken rice chef smiling and soothing away those sleepless nights thinking of whether to watch a video or make one yourself, about making chicken rice!
Hello chef adam! I dont know if you will be able to read this but after many tries i have finally perfected your recipe. Thank you very much! You cooking made such wonderful memories to me and my family.
Wow! I've watched several other videos for this recipe but this one really tops them all. Thanks so much! :) BTW, I've lived in Asia for 45 years and I'm also a huge fan of Hainanese chicken rice. :)
Chicken rice of “chicka rye” as my children call it was our staple when we lived in Singapore. You could always grab a plate for under $4, and the kids adored it.
Hainanese chicken rice is my beacon to SIngapore. The perfect combination of basic ingredients and its soothing taste made it my staple when I lived there. It's been three years now and I kinda teared up in nostalgia while watching this. Thank you.
Adam, thank you so much for this authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice! I cannot thank you enough for such patience and tips. I love this chicken rice and I have tried your methods and followed very closely (and also tried to understand in between lines, as I know my pots and ingredient brands are slightly different). I tried and be very very patient, treated the chicken like a baby. I turned out so perfect that I almost cried when I tested it! I can say I have succeeded this time and all thanks to you and your recipe. I will look no more for Hainanese Chicken Rice in where I live. Your recipe is closer to home- Malaysia/ Singapore (imo) and I now prefer to cook at home for my British husband. P/S: We bought organic chicken this time for the chicken rice. But we would like to try farm chicken (kampung) next time when we try it, just to see how close we can get the texture. For this time- my flavour is 95% close, and I will improve on the rice (80%) Waiting for my husband to bring back some bird's eye chillies. Thank you Adam! Love from UK
I love this dish. I have tried it in all sorts of different restaurants, But my absolute favorite is a small shop in Burwood. I don't know why or how but the way they make it just makes me smile when eating it.
IMINTOMAKEUPNOW When ever I see something new like these chicken hooks, I get the urge to rush out and buy them. The problem is when I bring them home and try to explain to my wife why I need them. I usually get a big “GOOD LORD!”
I followed your recipe since 2020. When I was working in Singapore as a helper, my employer loves it so much. This is one of the best chicken rice recipes. I would like also to try this only future restaurant. As for now, I enjoyed cooking for my family here in the Philippines
I really appreciate these videos, I don't have many opportunities to learn recipes from my parents and grandparents but I often find myself wanting a taste of home. Your recipe videos have allowed that, thank you.
I love hearing your sweet voice....a tune that resembles a man with a kind of character of love & passionate, joyous of kindness & finally you're the amazing chef not easy to forget b'coz you got the style of talking in this media...from Malaysia 💯❤️👍🙏
For those with negative comments. If you don't like his presentation don't watch. It's that simple. There is no need to post a negative comment, unless he asks you for your opinion and I'm pretty sure he won't on this forum.
Hi Adam...I have found you easier to follow than the rest of what I have watched, I posted my version of Hainanese Chicken Rice in my facebook and some guys saw it and whoala! They ordered a set with rice, i just sold it for us$4.00, I have a small business but not operational at the moment, almost drowning now as no one is back to work. So, I decided to divert anything to earn fir a living as I have 8 guys to feed heee including me :) I started to follow your menu and cooked whatever menu that I think I can follow easily as I am PWD (person with disability) i asked my family member to help me for the preparations. I wished to learn more of your menu. Thank you Chef for the inspiration.
Now that our children are grown my husband and I have been cooking a lot of dishes that have so much interesting culture and flavor. I have found that you don't have to have a gourmet kitchen to achieve this! What a fantastic and beautiful recipe! I can't wait to try this! You have to be so proud of the AMAZING COOKS in your life. And they are normal people like any of us! So don't be afraid to try these wonderful recipes! I was honored to be a part of your kitchen thank You!!
anuragbhaiya enjoy the pasta with tomato sauce with mushroom and Parmesan cheese on top? That’s MSG. The Doritos you munch on during movie night? MSG. The problem with MSG is the same with excessive salt intake. Nobody would empty an entire bag of MSG to season a dish, much like no sane chef would use an entire box of salt to season.
At one time, the FDA also said you need 11 daily servings of grains and bread .... If something makes me thirsty and gives me brain fog, it probably isn't doing me any good.
@@LaserrSharp I was just using FDA to say my own opinion- which is that msg is found in tomatoes, msg is just concentrated version of it, the origin of Asian restaurant syndrome is based on something else.

@PumpkinsnBlackcats Fuck off you insane antivaxxer freak.
@@danagboi I still can't get past that hurdle..... I can count the times I had Hainanese Chix where the parts I had did not have the pink/reddish spots.
Ok, I might have simplified my reply a bit. One can cook a chicken to perfection and still have some pink/red spots in the flesh. These pigments are caused by either haemoglobin (from blood - the chicken has been bruised during its slaughter, or a bone has been fractured allowing some blood to escape and pigment the surrounding flesh), or myoglobin, which is a pink pigment in the muscle. If you are getting red/dark spots then I would think that it is due to the butchery/slaughter of the bird. If bones are fractured or muscle is bruised then there will be pink spots. I would recommend you seek out a good quality chicken. Don't buy from a supermarket, buy from a butcher who can tell you that the chicken has not been mass produced. Chickens are one of the most consumed animals on the planet. No joke, over 50 BILLION chickens are slaughtered every year. If you are buying your chicken from a supermarket, then it is likely a cage raised chicken which is slaughtered on a mechanised production line which would result in bruising and fractures of the bones. If you find a butcher who actually cares about where his or her produce comes from then you might be lucky enough to buy a free range chicken who has been slaughtered on the farm and will be free of the physical trauma a production line chicken would exhibit. But in essence, pink spots on properly cooked chicken are not a cause for concern.
@@danagboi Your reply might be long but I learned a lot today. Now I can enjoy hainanese chicken, master stock chicken, poached chicken in ginger broth, etc...😊 Thanks!
Cause in many southern Chinese chicken dishes, a good chicken is barely pass the edible line to keep the tenderness. In fact I would say the cook don’t know how to make hainanese chicken if there is no pink by the bone. There are two good way to taste good meat, one is like bbq rib, the meat is so soft you want to tear down meat from bone with you lip.is it’s like steak, you don’t want over cook and lose the flavor. This dish the the steak one
I made his Hainanese chicken rice with 3 side sauce tonight for my family. They loved it. I will be making this dish on a regular rotation from now on. 👍😋👍 Thank you for your family recipe! 👍👍👍👍
Following this recipe was such a hit on the first try that I've been making this many times since. Excellent tips for flavor and texture. I don't care what Uncle Roger says, thank you Uncle Adam.

THIS IS the tutorial ive been looking for for the past 5 YEARS!! Thank you soooo much for this!! If you know how to make Roti Canai too pleasee I would love to learn that as well!
I searched for chicken rice to just cook the rice but i ended up watching the whole thing without skipping. It's so calming to watch your video! Im glad that i clicked this and im definitely subscribing!!
Love your channel, Adam. We are making this tonight. We don't have the pandan leaves, so will leave that out. Lots of love from Calcutta.
A little kewda essence would have a similar effect. Found my little jar in Kankurgachi
My two favourite RUclips recipe channels in this comment thread! Big fan of both Adam and Bong Eats. Delighted!
Bong eats is here. two of my favourite channel owners. Hope you are staying safe in these disturbing times saptarshi and insiya.
@@imonbanerjee2997 Yes, we are staying home. Thank you!
Never expected u here😅
I had to give up my cat this week and it's been really hard on me. I haven't been able to stop crying for a few days now but I remembered how therapeutic this video was and how therapeutic Adam's voice was so I came back to watch. This will not bring my cat back to me but I feel a little more relaxed right now.
MSG is a naturally occurring salt and has no unique negative health effects. It's no different than table salt as far as its healthiness goes.

But chinese aunties say otherwise. When we tell them its harmless and they ask for proof. we show them the numerous studies done on msg to which they say "fake news" "hoax"
To quote Anthony Bourdain “Racism.”
PumpkinsnBlackcats okay, but that’s an allergy… people can be allergic to anything lol
I think they were more talking about the headlines that claim eating MSG will kill you, which is untrue unless you’re allergic

I am a singaporean studying overseas in the UK right now. I woke up one day having dreamt of chicken rice, first thing i did was to search on youtube "how to cook chicken rice",
After watching your video, the calmness and serenity in voice actually made me fall right back to sleep.
Great story telling, thank you for sharing your family recipe with us. I will definitely be trying it out later.
Big boss its a dream, becoming a chicken rice chef smiling and soothing away those sleepless nights thinking of whether to watch a video or make one yourself, about making chicken rice!
Lol he really feels like Bob Ross if he was a chef.
Wow, i just realized this. Yes it really feels like it.
he was a chef actually .. a celebrity chef to be precise ... winner of master chef australia season 2 ...
@@pointeablanc8926 he meant if Bob Ross was a chef not Adam
Left singapore to study in new york, this video was a lifesaver. Nothing like a plate of chicken rice on a sunday ♥️
My favourite dish of all time..❤️. Thanks Adam..! Still remember watching you on Masterchef Australia like yesterday..🙂.
His voice is so relaxing. You can tell he really puts love into his cooking
My first and last meal when I'm in Singapore! 😋 Now, I'm craving it!
Hello chef adam! I dont know if you will be able to read this but after many tries i have finally perfected your recipe. Thank you very much! You cooking made such wonderful memories to me and my family.
Wow! I've watched several other videos for this recipe but this one really tops them all. Thanks so much! :) BTW, I've lived in Asia for 45 years and I'm also a huge fan of Hainanese chicken rice. :)
man the love you have for this dish really shines through.
Adam with the AP watch swag
One of the first things I noticed when I came across his channel.
Props to him
Sick one adam
He has a patek too. Looks good
I thought that's what it was lol
This is definitely one of the most thorough videos I’ve seen on this dish. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips!
Chicken rice of “chicka rye” as my children call it was our staple when we lived in Singapore. You could always grab a plate for under $4, and the kids adored it.
It is also very fattening
Hainanese chicken rice is my beacon to SIngapore.
The perfect combination of basic ingredients and its soothing taste made it my staple when I lived there.
It's been three years now and I kinda teared up in nostalgia while watching this.
Thank you.
Adam, thank you so much for this authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice! I cannot thank you enough for such patience and tips. I love this chicken rice and I have tried your methods and followed very closely (and also tried to understand in between lines, as I know my pots and ingredient brands are slightly different). I tried and be very very patient, treated the chicken like a baby. I turned out so perfect that I almost cried when I tested it! I can say I have succeeded this time and all thanks to you and your recipe.
I will look no more for Hainanese Chicken Rice in where I live. Your recipe is closer to home- Malaysia/ Singapore (imo) and I now prefer to cook at home for my British husband.
P/S: We bought organic chicken this time for the chicken rice. But we would like to try farm chicken (kampung) next time when we try it, just to see how close we can get the texture.
For this time- my flavour is 95% close, and I will improve on the rice (80%)
Waiting for my husband to bring back some bird's eye chillies.
Thank you Adam!
Love from UK
Wow, cleanest, sweetest comment thread I have ever read. This looks like love! Thank you!
So relaxing, so wholesome, i love this ❤
I love this dish. I have tried it in all sorts of different restaurants, But my absolute favorite is a small shop in Burwood. I don't know why or how but the way they make it just makes me smile when eating it.
I didn’t know how bad I needed chicken hooks and a hangie thing until now😊
IMINTOMAKEUPNOW
When ever I see something new like these chicken hooks, I get the urge to rush out and buy them. The problem is when I bring them home and try to explain to my wife why I need them. I usually get a big “GOOD LORD!”
Right? I called a carpenter to have it made 😂
@@hzlkelly 😂😂
This might be the best cooking channel on RUclips
Nice AP Adam, glad to see you're doing well!
My favorite video of how to make Hainanese chicken rice so far . I’m actually drooling while watching it. Look sooo delicious .
He’s such a bear 😭♥️ so calming
I followed your recipe since 2020. When I was working in Singapore as a helper, my employer loves it so much. This is one of the best chicken rice recipes. I would like also to try this only future restaurant. As for now, I enjoyed cooking for my family here in the Philippines
I want you to narrate my life
njc2o 😂
I’m Cantonese and I love everything Adam put together in this episode.
Whoa dude, your cooking vid is just epic and calm. Love it! Beautifully done both the chicken rice and the video itself. Subbed ! :)
I really appreciate these videos, I don't have many opportunities to learn recipes from my parents and grandparents but I often find myself wanting a taste of home. Your recipe videos have allowed that, thank you.
Adam, in Sydney which restaurant do you think serves this dish best?
I love hearing your sweet voice....a tune that resembles a man with a kind of character of love & passionate, joyous of kindness & finally you're the amazing chef not easy to forget b'coz you got the style of talking in this media...from Malaysia 💯❤️👍🙏
This guy is suspiciously happy. I dont trust him. still enjoyable
Manol Tonchev follow his Twitter, he’s secretly a sass king haha
@@emmakatenotcake i live for his sass
Uh....
LMAO.
Omg. I felt the same way.
I miss Malaysia so much, best food I've ever had in my life hands down.
I tried this at home. It's so good my family started punching each other. I am the only survivor. I am an orphan now.
For those with negative comments. If you don't like his presentation don't watch. It's that simple. There is no need to post a negative comment, unless he asks you for your opinion and I'm pretty sure he won't on this forum.
well in Australia that amount of gingers can cost as much as those chickens sometimes.
Here in US, that whole thing will cost $2.
Coz Australia has overinflated wages.
So true haha
Really,?
Doesn't ginger grow in Australia? Would be costly to import it because you guys are like a continent by yourself.
Hi Adam...I have found you easier to follow than the rest of what I have watched, I posted my version of Hainanese Chicken Rice in my facebook and some guys saw it and whoala! They ordered a set with rice, i just sold it for us$4.00, I have a small business but not operational at the moment, almost drowning now as no one is back to work. So, I decided to divert anything to earn fir a living as I have 8 guys to feed heee including me :) I started to follow your menu and cooked whatever menu that I think I can follow easily as I am PWD (person with disability) i asked my family member to help me for the preparations. I wished to learn more of your menu. Thank you Chef for the inspiration.
I will destroy my kitchen trying to make this lol.
Now that our children are grown my husband and I have been cooking a lot of dishes that have so much interesting culture and flavor. I have found that you don't have to have a gourmet kitchen to achieve this! What a fantastic and beautiful recipe! I can't wait to try this! You have to be so proud of the AMAZING COOKS in your life. And they are normal people like any of us! So don't be afraid to try these wonderful recipes! I was honored to be a part of your kitchen thank You!!
msg is not bad for your health. -fda
anuragbhaiya enjoy the pasta with tomato sauce with mushroom and Parmesan cheese on top? That’s MSG. The Doritos you munch on during movie night? MSG.
The problem with MSG is the same with excessive salt intake. Nobody would empty an entire bag of MSG to season a dish, much like no sane chef would use an entire box of salt to season.
At one time, the FDA also said you need 11 daily servings of grains and bread .... If something makes me thirsty and gives me brain fog, it probably isn't doing me any good.
@@LaserrSharp I was just using FDA to say my own opinion- which is that msg is found in tomatoes, msg is just concentrated version of it, the origin of Asian restaurant syndrome is based on something else.
@@LaserrSharp you're such a fucking arsehole.
@PumpkinsnBlackcats Fuck off you insane antivaxxer freak.
A million thanks to the Hainanese people.
We love this all time favorites food.
I love this dish but sometimes I get chicken parts that have red/pink spots, especially near the bones and my appetite goes pooooof!
That is the pigment 'myoglobin' and is normal, even in a properly cooked chicken.
@@danagboi
I still can't get past that hurdle..... I can count the times I had Hainanese Chix where the parts I had did not have the pink/reddish spots.
Ok, I might have simplified my reply a bit. One can cook a chicken to perfection and still have some pink/red spots in the flesh. These pigments are caused by either haemoglobin (from blood - the chicken has been bruised during its slaughter, or a bone has been fractured allowing some blood to escape and pigment the surrounding flesh), or myoglobin, which is a pink pigment in the muscle. If you are getting red/dark spots then I would think that it is due to the butchery/slaughter of the bird. If bones are fractured or muscle is bruised then there will be pink spots. I would recommend you seek out a good quality chicken. Don't buy from a supermarket, buy from a butcher who can tell you that the chicken has not been mass produced. Chickens are one of the most consumed animals on the planet. No joke, over 50 BILLION chickens are slaughtered every year. If you are buying your chicken from a supermarket, then it is likely a cage raised chicken which is slaughtered on a mechanised production line which would result in bruising and fractures of the bones. If you find a butcher who actually cares about where his or her produce comes from then you might be lucky enough to buy a free range chicken who has been slaughtered on the farm and will be free of the physical trauma a production line chicken would exhibit.
But in essence, pink spots on properly cooked chicken are not a cause for concern.
@@danagboi
Your reply might be long but I learned a lot today. Now I can enjoy hainanese chicken, master stock chicken, poached chicken in ginger broth, etc...😊 Thanks!
Cause in many southern Chinese chicken dishes, a good chicken is barely pass the edible line to keep the tenderness. In fact I would say the cook don’t know how to make hainanese chicken if there is no pink by the bone. There are two good way to taste good meat, one is like bbq rib, the meat is so soft you want to tear down meat from bone with you lip.is it’s like steak, you don’t want over cook and lose the flavor. This dish the the steak one
I made his Hainanese chicken rice with 3 side sauce tonight for my family. They loved it. I will be making this dish on a regular rotation from now on. 👍😋👍 Thank you for your family recipe! 👍👍👍👍
Who in the world said msg is bad???
A lot of ignorant people
I do like when a chef calls out his favorite dish of all time.
Have you gotten serious about watches ? Is that an AP Royal Oak on your wrist ? Or maybe Maurice Lacroix Aikon ?
It's an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, you can see it in some of the close ups.. Extremely impressive. (y)
I like how happy he looks when he's cooking. You can tell he really is enjoying the whole process
Hi, I'm a scientist who tests on daily food people consume and I done a lot of research on msg and I can tell you its safe to consume msg.
We knows it's safe to consume MSGs... but we are loosing too much hairs in the process...haha
Following this recipe was such a hit on the first try that I've been making this many times since. Excellent tips for flavor and texture. I don't care what Uncle Roger says, thank you Uncle Adam.
