Hainanese Chicken Rice Recipe From RasaMalaysia.com For Bookmarking

So I tried this out the other day. Good recipe! Highly recommend!

It took me about 2 hours to prepare the:
1. Chicken
2. Soup
3. Rice
4. Chili Sauce
5. Special Soy Sauce

Basically you have to boil the chicken first and chill it and cool it down to room temperature.
Use the soup to make the rice and chili sauce.
Prep the soy sauce and cucumber to accompany the chicken.

Tasted really good. I replaced the required chicken with a smaller spring chicken and it turned out quite tender.

My kitchen utensils are not that big. So a smaller chicken is easier to control. Plus there won't be any leftovers with a smaller chicken.

I added extra carrots, leeks and celery to the soup to make it more tasty.
And also added fresh tomato next to the prepped chicken.
I guess you can buy some achar and this would also complement it.



So going to cook this again!

Will try the roasted chicken next time!
