I actually am fine with MSG when I'm eating street food in Asia...it's just a part of the experience that makes street food so good 😆 And I'm happy to eat it on those occasions and in moderation. But I choose not to cook with it at home. And many of my Asian friends (also my Asian mum) don't like to cook with it at home either. I understand and am aware of the history surrounding MSG and that it was a 'white media' that gave it its notoriety in the USA. But I do have to say that my experience in Bangkok is that many of us are also not fond of MSG for our own reasons (nothing to do with what a white guy said decades ago)...mainly because we're trying to eat and live in a more natural way. It's the same reason I try not to use other chemical or artificial preservatives, artificial flavours or colours in my cooking at home where possible. I hope that clarifies my position. I am certainly not hating on MSG...just saying that if you want to, here's an option that doesn't contain it 😀
@@Marionskitchen Think maybe you should pin this comment. It did seem to read that there was an anti-MSG sentiment when I heard it in this video. This comment provided the needed context!
@@Marionskitchen and to add to that, some people who arent really good at cooking just depend on MSG to make their meals taste not so bad. because they know they can use msg to mask it, they dont go out of their way to use spices or experiment on their cooking techniques or just cooking their food a little longer 🤷♀️
@@ARNASI97 I agree and in Bangkok we often think that street vendors who rely on MSG too much are actually doing it to save on buying better quality or more expensive/flavourful ingredients. It's the same as adding too much salt and trying to hide behind that saltiness.
Marion! Could you do a video on how to stock our pantries for Asian cooking? Gojuchang, star anise, lemongrass, Sichuan peppercorns, palm sugar... What else do you keep on hand? I would love to build up my pantry so I’m not constantly running out to the store every time you release a new video 😅
@@Marionskitchen Yes this would be a great video. Since watching your channel I have so many new items in my pantry. I cook one of your dishes every week and have been happy every time.
I've been LOOKING for an easy to follow Hainanese chicken rice at home recipe for the longest time and I've finally found one that looks easy enough (although lots of steps) for me to make! The key is really well flavored rice with all that fat and chicken broth... mmmmm! Thank you Marion!
I did this tonight for dinner and my family loved it, so tasty and so light. Broth that we drink in between eating this yummy dish, cleans the palet and heals the soul. Thank you Marion for sharing this recipe ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for making this easy to follow video, Marion. I have been so homesick for our local Malaysian dishes and wishing I had learned how to cook them when I had the chance. Now, I can 💗
I studied in Malaysia for my Bachelor's degree. I used to have this very frequently since its such a comfort food. Thanks to your recipe and superb video instructions, i was able to make some of that nostalgia here in India again! Thank you 😊
OMG.. how did i just find this amazing chef? Marion, I love all "your version" of asian dishes! Tried several of your recipes and they all turned out perfect! Easy to follow instructions that yields amazing result. Thank you for sharing all your recipes, Marion!
We made hainanese off one of your older recipe and used the chicken broth to make an egg drop soup. Multi steps process with tremendous yield. We were fed for dayzzz!
I love when I come to a channel like this and can read that someone made it a and how they like it.. Ya’ll I made this and it was absolutely positively amazing. I want to make this again ASAP!!! There were no leftovers after 2 days and I was the only guest lol. Thank you Marion! 😉
I made this for our anniversary. Hubby who, at the best of times, is suspicious of "foreign" food absolutely loved it. Not only that we had the leftover chicken on rolls the next day with cream cheese spread, cucumber and avocado and he couldn't get enough of it. Thank you Marion, I am on my way to converting him thanks to you.
I made this recipe and it came out amazing! I've been looking for a good chicken rice recipe and all the other ones I've tried don't come close to Singaporean chicken rice. Thank you Marion!!
My wife who is Malaysian loves chicken rice and so do I. However, I’m from NEw Zealand and will give your recipe a go.Thank you Marion for your easy-to-follow instructions.
Omg I made this tonight…. I made a few changes to suit my timing but I’m amazed how tasty this dish is … I’ve always turned away from this dish thinking it was boring …. I loved it . Thank you Marion for all your amazing recipes and techniques ❤❤
I miss the hainanese chicken in Asia. Thank you Marion! What a great pleasure to watch all the vivid colors: the green onions, the glossiness of the sesame oil & chili sauce on the side!
Hello, Marion. Lately, I’ve craved some Hainanese Chicken Rice and yesterday after some research I decided to follow your recipe as my guide. The chicken (and the stock) and ginger-garlic-onion sauce are ready and the rice is on its way. So far, so good, and have no doubt it’s going to be an smashing Friday lunch (and dinner). 😅 Thank you for your videos and inspiration. Have a lovely weekend. 🙌🏼
One of a kind Marion's magic hands in cooking any kind of foods.. You are my mentor since the day I was preparing to go as an OFW or oversea foreign worker.. My boss also loved the way I cooked because of you Marion.. Thank you so much for sharing us your knowledge.. More power..!! GOD BLESS YOU a good health. I love you.. ❤️❤️❤️ From Iloilo City Philippines. 😘
Made this again today because my husband wasn't feeling well and wanted him to have the broth. Found a while chicken in the bottom of the freezer and knew immediately I'd make it. Always so delicious!
Omg Marion you read my mind! I was just thinking of making chicken rice and was watching your Thai version. Now I don't know which one to make! 😂Awesome video as always!
Saw this last night and it looked soo good, I went and got me a chicken.... It was delicious! It was subtle and comforting, but fresh too, especially the ginger/scallion sauce! Thanks, Marion! God bless!
Thanks Marion! I tried your method and it works! The chicken is tender and it is so easy to make. Noticed you did not need to dunk in ice cold water once the chicken is cooked.
and in addition: study says that salt has more MSG. Now a days - we really don't know what to eat/consume just to have a healthy lifestyle. Thanks to Marion, for always bringing a healthy and scrumptious meal that our family will surely love.
Marion! I've cooked your recipe for my family once and now they want it over and over. We love it! Thank you for sharing it! Gonna make it again today ❤️❤️🥰
I have made a couple "EASY HAINANESE CHICKEN" and I am so glad I found your recipe! I have a small beautiful 2.8lb young chicken with your recipe written all over it tomorrow!!! Wow, I love this recipe! I love that you make great well known recipes easy to make! Thanks again for another one!
Hi Marion, Another fabulous recipe, you've inspired me, at 73 years of age and never having tried it, to give it a go today. NB I've watched other videos about this dish and most of them suggest eating the food cold. I'm pleased that you eat it hot as I am not a lover of cold food. We can't find spring onions here in the South of France but they have something similar, with larger bulbs - I'll just bung a couple into the blender for the green sauce. There's a fabulous new large Asian supermarket opened a couple of years ago in Beziers (22 kms away) which is packed with more spices than I've ever seen. They also do fresh coriander which is hard to find around here but sadly, they don't stock spring onions (scallions) which I find amazing, since it's an integral part of many Asian recipes. Just on a pedantic note, why do you refer to the chicken as "him"? Surely they are all "hers". Thanks again for a wonderful video - I find your enthusiasm infectious. Kind regards, Robin. PS I've just had a thought (very rare as I'm originally from Yorkshire and we're not very bright), I'll order some spring onion seeds and grow my own.
So delicious!😋 I made this last weekend as meal prep, keeps well in the fridge the whole week! But it took 2 days to make cos I added extra chicken for the broth. Am saving the broth to use for the next chicken and will probably make it into a master stock. Thanks Marion😁
I absolutely love the way you talk about food so passionately. You truly live to eat and because of your presentation skills I feel like cooking and eating all this yummilicious food. Tonight I'm definitely making this Hainanese chicken rice
As a home cook of Taiwanese origin, I'm really with Marion in this regard. Same as Marion, I don't use it at home, but I don't go out and beyond to avoid it when eating out. MSG makes me thirsty every single time after having some of those Chinese takeaways, and sometimes leaves bitter taste on my tongue too. I sometimes ask the restaurants not to put MSG in the food but they still do and I can taste it. As to whether if it's natural, harmful, carcinogenic or not, there is still not a definitive answer yet. Marion is an excellent chef and her recipes are all very approachable, and there's nothing wrong offering alternative options to MSG for people like me. :-)
I just made this! 😱 Sooooo good! And really fun to make. The rubbing of sesame oil on the chicken and adding the ginger garlic sauce really made it pop. I used hoisin sauce instead of soy. The rice didn’t come out that great for me. But, next time I’ll use the same flavors and ingredients and do it a way that works for me. Great meal! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🤗😋
I am Hainanese from Singapore. I fried ginger and garlic with rice. We usually tied up pandan leaves and put in rice to cook with chicken stock. Choose fat chicken to boil it then u don't need to extra boil chicken stock. I know some people take out chicken from hot water and quickly dip a bowl of ice cube water a few times so that the chicken skin is loosen from meat.
Hi Marion! I wanted to request if you'd be able to make a video on how you season your wok and especially how you clean it after cooking? I recently bought a wok and have attempted to season it but don't think I've done a very good job 😅
You know Marion, following your recipe, I managed to cook Hainanese Chicken Rice in the microwave. And I loved it. Thank you very much for this recipe 😊
Dear Marion! I am a big fan of yours since over a year but now I saw over a couple of weeks Master chef Australia season 2 and saw you there. I was like: whaaaat? Marion!? Of course you were my absolute favorite candidate to win.. Anyway. It was just great to watch you there cooking and I am an even bigger fan now. 🥳
I Made this today and it was amazing. I would have added a bit more salt / fish sauce to the broth but overall it was delicious. It reminded me of the Hawker stands in Singapore.
My goodness. This is like DaVinci's Mona Lisa. This recipe has the perfect amount of everything - the perfectly poached chicken, the 'just-cooked' long grains of rice and the zing and color of the confinements! Marion, you are a rockstar! Love from India. 😘
Someone suggested a video on necessary Asian staples. Lately, having watched many unsatisfying videos on shopping at Asian Markets, I'd LOVE it if you could actually take us shopping with you to get those staples and teach us HOW to shop there (my new local Asian Market confuses me). (BTW, Thank you for another yummy video!).
This looks like a bit of a technical challenge, but I'm willing to try. The tricky bit would be poaching the chicken, as I have a ceramic/halogen hob and a standalone induction hob.. I could break out the portable gas stove, if it will run for 40 mins. I've never tried to use it that long before. Thank you Marion for this video guide.
Hainanese chicken usually go into cold water bath after take out from the broth. Make its skin texture even better. U can also put lemongrass in the rice, to reduce the oiliness make the rice smell fantastic.
Made the dish I watched your video 3 times made it ,could not believe how delicious 😋 it was so good 😊 had it for breakfast thank you for your 👍 video.your the best teacher 🍲
This continues to be a go to recipe of mine and the ginger sauce just takes it to the next level. The only thing I would add is a little salt to the broth if using unsalted stock and I add some soy sauce and the ginger sauce to my rice when it’s done.
I tried this recipe and it worked well! Thank you! But I do have one serious question though: I’ve never seen hainanese chicken rice with sweet soy sauce? (Having tried plenty of hainan chicken rice in Indonesia and Singapore).
this is an amazing recipe! I have a question about the ginger spring onion sauce, can I store it in the fridge? if I do how long it might stay good? pls let me know
Being Filipina I grew up with MSG or vetsin as we call it in a lot of our foods my mum even used to coat fries/chips in MSG before frying. Having said that I also used to have a lot of headaches and stomach aches and tiredness and often spent time in the sick bay at school. My parents stopped using it in high school but my former mother in law who is an excellent cook used it all the time and I didn’t connect the correlations between my symptoms and other symptoms like constant sneezing etc til about 16 years ago. As someone with a lot of food sensitivities and intolerances from gluten (can get itchy scaly white skin or even nerve pain) to artificial food enhancers and colouring I may enjoy MSG in the moment but I always know about it after. I’ve had to do the elimination diet twice to figure out why I’ve had spontaneous urticaria (severe hives with burning painful skin) the past 2 years and didn’t know glutamates also occurred in those foods you mentioned. Thank you for informing us where it occurs naturally. I am not saying that MSG is good or bad but I think it’s up to the individual to see whether they have a reaction to it and if it’s right for them. Sometimes symptoms may not occur within hours but food sensitivities can trigger adverse reactions up to 3 days later. Anyway this info is great and if I could stop taking 3 medications a day plus two injections per month because of altering my diet as disappointing as the possibility might be to live without these foods that have natural glutamates my itchy burning skin would be thankful.
A lot of people in the comment section can take a leaf out of your book; to listen and not start jumping on Marion for her choices. I'm glad you shared your story and I hope you are getting better!!!
ebonyloveivory thank you for saying that. I adore Marion and have done since she was on Masterchef over a decade ago. She’s entitled to choose not to use MSG because the truth is in this day and age there are so many people with allergies and food sensitivities. I don’t feel like she was bagging on it, personal preference is just that...personal preference and it is her cooking show after all and she wasn’t rude or preaching about it. People on comments of RUclips can be quite reactive sometimes and I feel we just need to appreciate that not everyone is going to think or enjoy the same things. This is an excellent booking show which brings so many people joy. Just chill and enjoy it, or not and skip on to the next RUclips clip. Thanks and I am feeling better, just cleaner rating rather than eating out and lots and lots of celery juice or cabbage juice so I can still indulge in yummy treats like this. Have a lovely one ebonyloveivory.
Damn, MSG are not bad when taken in moderately.
Why do people are so paranoid over it?
I actually am fine with MSG when I'm eating street food in Asia...it's just a part of the experience that makes street food so good 😆 And I'm happy to eat it on those occasions and in moderation.

The real trick is to cook twice as much rice as you think you need, because everyone will have seconds...
I did this tonight for dinner and my family loved it, so tasty and so light. Broth that we drink in between eating this yummy dish, cleans the palet and heals the soul. Thank you Marion for sharing this recipe ❤️❤️❤️
That sizzling sound over the ginger and spring onion is pure heaven!
Thank you for making this easy to follow video, Marion. I have been so homesick for our local Malaysian dishes and wishing I had learned how to cook them when I had the chance. Now, I can 💗
My pleasure 😊 Happy to help!
Hearing Marion salivate while she’s talking us through these recipes is just pure joy and wholesomeness.
Yay
Thanks Marion😊

Luv the way you present your recipes.
Want to try
You dont use pandan leaves??

As a professional chicken eater, Hainan chicken rice is indispensable in my favorite Nanyang cuisine.
I bet you I’m more of a professional chicken eater than you.
A what..?
nattō pro chicken eater. Basically I get paid to eat chicken.
Max Maxington is she single? I want to be her son.

I think I'm doing this now every week for my family and now it's a staple! Thanks Marion... I'm a follower!

I tried cooking this Marion, except that I air fried the cooked chicken - best thing ever! Friends loved it!
Big fan of your channel, Marion! Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
how dare you make a spot on authentic dish.... you are amazing omg!
Saw this last night and it looked soo good, I went and got me a chicken.... It was delicious! It was subtle and comforting, but fresh too, especially the ginger/scallion sauce! Thanks, Marion! God bless!
Thank you! Delicious and so tender. I didn’t put any salt just Knorr chicken powder and was great. Much love to you and family 💞

Hi Marion,
Another fabulous recipe, you've inspired me, at 73 years of age and never having tried it, to give it a go today.
NB I've watched other videos about this dish and most of them suggest eating the food cold. I'm pleased that you eat it hot as I am not a lover of cold food.
We can't find spring onions here in the South of France but they have something similar, with larger bulbs - I'll just bung a couple into the blender for the green sauce.
There's a fabulous new large Asian supermarket opened a couple of years ago in Beziers (22 kms away) which is packed with more spices than I've ever seen. They also do fresh coriander which is hard to find around here but sadly, they don't stock spring onions (scallions) which I find amazing, since it's an integral part of many Asian recipes.
Just on a pedantic note, why do you refer to the chicken as "him"?
Surely they are all "hers".
Thanks again for a wonderful video - I find your enthusiasm infectious.
Kind regards,
Robin.
PS I've just had a thought (very rare as I'm originally from Yorkshire and we're not very bright), I'll order some spring onion seeds and grow my own.
We loved in Malaysia, and I learnt this dish from my friends mom, but I love your recipe…
This video made my mouth water 🤤. That chicken got pampered, got the full treatment at the spa.
This is a very good receipt to follow and my family love it. Adding garlic to the rice is a plus plus.
So delicious!😋 I made this last weekend as meal prep, keeps well in the fridge the whole week! But it took 2 days to make cos I added extra chicken for the broth. Am saving the broth to use for the next chicken and will probably make it into a master stock. Thanks Marion😁
I love your version, i must say I will have to try this recipe. Thanks again Marion for another awesome video♥️
I absolutely love the way you talk about food so passionately. You truly live to eat and because of your presentation skills I feel like cooking and eating all this yummilicious food. Tonight I'm definitely making this Hainanese chicken rice
Thank you so much 🤗
ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! Congratulations, Marion! No one deserves more success. 🎉
I made this last night for dinner. It is to die for.
What a sensual assembly of goodies, thank you Marion.
Made it today! followed your instructions! Absolutely gorgeous and brilliant!! Thank you, thank you!

potato chips also contains MSG do you know???
I've watched a few chicken rice videos and I think this one is the least intimidating to me. Forget sourdough, I'm making quarantine chicken rice!
LOL I'm with you Aina!!! Quarantine chicken rice all the way!
Lol. Yea this one's pretty easy despite having a lot of components to it. It's my mom's go-to dish when she's not really feeling it that day😂
Thank you so much Marion! The chicken was so tender and the ginger sauce was so good. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this recipe, made it twice and it is just so good and so satisfying. Thank you.
Many thanks Marion. This is one of my favourite dishes. Looks straight forward to make. I shall give it a go this week.
The rice is a little bit teeny undercooked. Little bit more stock and a few more minutes steaming should do. :) excited to try this!!
I just made this! 😱 Sooooo good! And really fun to make. The rubbing of sesame oil on the chicken and adding the ginger garlic sauce really made it pop. I used hoisin sauce instead of soy. The rice didn’t come out that great for me. But, next time I’ll use the same flavors and ingredients and do it a way that works for me. Great meal! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🤗😋

I am Hainanese from Singapore. I fried ginger and garlic with rice. We usually tied up pandan leaves and put in rice to cook with chicken stock. Choose fat chicken to boil it then u don't need to extra boil chicken stock. I know some people take out chicken from hot water and quickly dip a bowl of ice cube water a few times so that the chicken skin is loosen from meat.

My mouth is watering. I need to make this dish. Thank you Marion…😋😋😋
This is my fave dish to have eating out... tried to make this at home. Was sceptical, didn't need to be, every element was perfect.
so good. this classic dish is deceptively simple and so easy to mess up. thanks for sharing.
Wow looks yummy ,definitely worth I will this recipe for my family ,this is one of my fav dish , thanku so Marion for sharing this recipe God bless ,u
You know Marion, following your recipe, I managed to cook Hainanese Chicken Rice in the microwave. And I loved it. Thank you very much for this recipe 😊

@@Marionskitchen Thank you, Marion. 😊
Hainanese chicken is the bomb. My friend’s mom renders the fat from the chicken skin and mixes it with the sauce. It looks simple but super flavorful
I need to try this. It looks so good. I love watching all ur recipes
This looks like a bit of a technical challenge, but I'm willing to try. The tricky bit would be poaching the chicken, as I have a ceramic/halogen hob and a standalone induction hob.. I could break out the portable gas stove, if it will run for 40 mins. I've never tried to use it that long before. Thank you Marion for this video guide.
Hainanese chicken usually go into cold water bath after take out from the broth. Make its skin texture even better. U can also put lemongrass in the rice, to reduce the oiliness make the rice smell fantastic.
Thank you Marion for a very detailed instruction video! I love it.
I just now watched Adam Liaw's chic rice recipe..your's recipe and his recipe almost same..but both one's recipe looks DELICIOUS
Made the dish I watched your video 3 times made it ,could not believe how delicious 😋 it was so good 😊 had it for breakfast thank you for your 👍 video.your the best teacher 🍲
This continues to be a go to recipe of mine and the ginger sauce just takes it to the next level. The only thing I would add is a little salt to the broth if using unsalted stock and I add some soy sauce and the ginger sauce to my rice when it’s done.
I tried this recipe and it worked well! Thank you! But I do have one serious question though: I’ve never seen hainanese chicken rice with sweet soy sauce? (Having tried plenty of hainan chicken rice in Indonesia and Singapore).
I love the food in Malaysia. My wife is from KL and I am from NZ and cannot wait to go back on the 22/12/22 to Malaysia.
this is an amazing recipe! I have a question about the ginger spring onion sauce, can I store it in the fridge? if I do how long it might stay good? pls let me know
I made this for my husband and we DEVOURED it!
I liked the way you cook 👩🍳 I loved it 😋😋😋God bless you

My dear, you cook beautiful, neatly, and beautifully.
awesome chef
Good job
I think the recipe works and is good - been subscribed for a couple of years - well done!
Being Filipina I grew up with MSG or vetsin as we call it in a lot of our foods my mum even used to coat fries/chips in MSG before frying. Having said that I also used to have a lot of headaches and stomach aches and tiredness and often spent time in the sick bay at school. My parents stopped using it in high school but my former mother in law who is an excellent cook used it all the time and I didn’t connect the correlations between my symptoms and other symptoms like constant sneezing etc til about 16 years ago. As someone with a lot of food sensitivities and intolerances from gluten (can get itchy scaly white skin or even nerve pain) to artificial food enhancers and colouring I may enjoy MSG in the moment but I always know about it after. I’ve had to do the elimination diet twice to figure out why I’ve had spontaneous urticaria (severe hives with burning painful skin) the past 2 years and didn’t know glutamates also occurred in those foods you mentioned. Thank you for informing us where it occurs naturally. I am not saying that MSG is good or bad but I think it’s up to the individual to see whether they have a reaction to it and if it’s right for them. Sometimes symptoms may not occur within hours but food sensitivities can trigger adverse reactions up to 3 days later.
Anyway this info is great and if I could stop taking 3 medications a day plus two injections per month because of altering my diet as disappointing as the possibility might be to live without these foods that have natural glutamates my itchy burning skin would be thankful.
A lot of people in the comment section can take a leaf out of your book; to listen and not start jumping on Marion for her choices. I'm glad you shared your story and I hope you are getting better!!!
ebonyloveivory thank you for saying that. I adore Marion and have done since she was on Masterchef over a decade ago. She’s entitled to choose not to use MSG because the truth is in this day and age there are so many people with allergies and food sensitivities. I don’t feel like she was bagging on it, personal preference is just that...personal preference and it is her cooking show after all and she wasn’t rude or preaching about it. People on comments of RUclips can be quite reactive sometimes and I feel we just need to appreciate that not everyone is going to think or enjoy the same things. This is an excellent booking show which brings so many people joy. Just chill and enjoy it, or not and skip on to the next RUclips clip. Thanks and I am feeling better, just cleaner rating rather than eating out and lots and lots of celery juice or cabbage juice so I can still indulge in yummy treats like this. Have a lovely one ebonyloveivory.
