How To Make hainanese style chicken and rice

  • 1
    Place water in a large pot. Add the salt. Bring to a boil. Rinse the chicken and then holding by the legs, dip the chicken in the boiling water for 5 seconds and then pull it out. Do this two more times to tighten the skin.
  • 2
    Drop the chicken in the water and add the scallions, garlic, ginger and turmeric powder. Bring the heat to a simmer and simmer 45 minutes.
  • 3
    Place the rice in a rice cooker and set aside.
  • 4
    Prepare the sauces. For the ginger garlic, mix the ingredients together in a heat proof dish. Pour the hot oil over top and let it sizzle.
  • 5
    For the chili sauce, put all the ingredients together in a bowl and add the hot chicken stock right out of the pot. Once the chilies are soft, put through a food processor.
  • 6
    Once the chicken is cooked, place in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Remove and brush with sesame oil.
  • 7
    Put 3 cups of the chicken stock through a fine mesh strainer into the rice cooker with the rice. Cook according to the cooker directions.
  • 8
    Debone the chicken and serve with the rice and sauces.
