HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE

INGREDIENTS

CHILLI SAUCE

SOY DIP

INSTRUCTIONS

Place chicken thighs in a pot with ginger slices, 2 garlic cloves (smashed), and the white of the spring onion.

Cover with water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.

Remove the chicken and reserve the broth for cooking rice.

In a pot or rice cooker, cook the rice using the reserved chicken broth.

For the chilli sauce, mix 1 tbsp sriracha with the minced garlic, rice vinegar, and a small squeeze of honey.

For the soy dip, mix 2 tbsp light soy sauce with a few drops of sesame oil.

Slice the cooked chicken and serve over the rice with cucumber on the side.
