Ingredients

  • 200 g Chicken thighs, boneless
  • 150 g Rice, cooked
  • 200 ml Chicken stock
  • 2 slices Ginger, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber, diced
  • 2 tbsp Chili sauce

Method

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear them in a hot skillet with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes, then dice it into bite-sized cubes, ensuring the pieces are uniform for even cooking.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until aromatic, about 60 seconds, before adding the chicken stock and soy sauce.
  4. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to concentrate and the stock to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the cooked rice, mixing thoroughly to coat the grains with the savory broth, and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly sticky.
  6. Transfer the rice mixture to a shallow dish, then top with the diced chicken, chopped green onions, and diced cucumber, arranging them evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
  7. Serve the Hainanese Chicken Rice Bites with a side of chili sauce, ensuring each bite has a balance of protein, rice, and fresh vegetables, and enjoy while still warm.
