Hainanese Chicken Rice

Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 5 October 2007 in Food & Cuisine.

Caleb's nanny, Auntie Molly taught me how to make this home made hainanese chicken rice. This time,i made it for all 4 of us,including Ian,just that he ate it blended,minus the salt and manmade flavours.

Ingredients:
Ginger(cut into slices)
Red Onion(cut into cubes)
Garlic(chopped)
Olive Oil
Fry till fragrant
Put in chicken neck bones(From NTUC very cheap,less than 2 bucks for 3 pieces)
Fry for about a minute.
Pour in 2.5 cups of water
Put in abt 4 pieces of dried scallop for sweetness
Put in 5-6 pieces of pandan leaves
Add 2 tablespoon of light soya sauce
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes
Use the broth to cook the rice

Marinate chicken in sesame oil,soya sauce,the broth and a bit of abalone sauce(Optional).

Steam chicken for 20-25 minutes.

Serve!

This time,i put the rice on top of lettuce,garnish with chinese celery,spring onion and tomatoes. Cant see much of the chicken and rice after all the decor though!
