Hainanese Chicken Rice

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Hi, today i would like to share with you the Asia well known dish, especially in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. What i like about this dish is, you do not waste any of the ingredients, you savage them for another dish. For example, the fragrant rice cooked with the broth from the chicken you pouched, and that's not all, the broth can be used it to serve along the chicken and the rice, and the chili sauce also added with the broth, wonderful! The aroma of the chicken with simple ingredients of sesame oil and soy sauce, the fragrant rice and the nutritious broth from the chicken, with the  garlic chili sauce for dipping, all blended well with one another!

I am not really sure the history of the Hainanese Chicken Rice, is it from China or Malaysia? But after some research this is what i learn .........

As you may know, the word "Hainanese" is from "Hainan", a province of the southern of China. Needn't for me to explain, that the province is a village of  Hainan dialet residents. It is believed that it was the immigrants from this province that came to other parts of Asia such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia and they were the ones introduced this dish decades ago. It is also believed that the original recipe for this dish was slightly different, whereby the original recipe they used pork to add to the broth, but in the modern day we do not add pork anymore. Also, the original version of the rice was moulded into balls, just like where you can still find in Malacca today, and the original recipe was without the butter.

The ingredients for this dish are the normal simple ingredients, it is amazing that simple ingredients can produce such an aromatic dish that most people love! In this recipe, i am providing two method of cooking, one is using the normal cooking pot and the other one is using the Pressure Cooker.

So, don't hesitate to try this recipe! Enjoy your chicken rice!
