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!

Looks like something I'd enjoy trying. Mrs. VF and I enjoy most Asian-based cuisines and cooking styles.
