Ingredients
- 2 pieces (200g) Chicken breast
- 2 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup (uncooked) Rice
- 1 tbsp, sliced Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks, chopped Spring onions
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
Method
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the sesame oil, letting it shimmer for about 30 seconds before adding the sliced ginger and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock to the pot, bringing it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and carefully place the chicken breasts in the liquid, covering them completely.
- Simmer the chicken on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), checking the doneness by piercing the thickest part.
- While the chicken cooks, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain thoroughly.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1.5 cups of water, a pinch of salt, and a splash of soy sauce, bringing it to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, then drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over it, tossing gently to coat.
- Plate the sliced chicken over the bed of rice, arranging the sliced ginger and garlic on top for added aroma.
- Garnish with chopped spring onions, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of pepper to taste, ensuring the dish looks bright and inviting.
- Serve the Chicken Hainanese Rice hot, accompanied by a side of cucumber slices and a small bowl of spicy chili sauce for those who enjoy a kick.
