Ingredients
Directions
- Place the chicken in a large pot with enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Reserve the chicken broth for cooking the rice and making the sauce.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, rub the chicken with salt to remove any impurities, then rinse it under cold water. Rub the chicken with sesame oil and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into serving pieces.
- To prepare the rice, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the rice and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the reserved chicken broth and salt to the rice, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and tender.
- For the ginger-garlic sauce, combine the ginger, garlic, vegetable oil, reserved chicken broth, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over low heat until warm and well combined, then remove from heat.
- To serve, place a portion of the cooked jasmine rice on a plate, followed by the sliced poached chicken. Add cucumber slices and fresh cilantro as a garnish. Serve the ginger-garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
- Optionally, you can also serve the Hainanese Chicken Rice with a side of dark soy sauce and a spicy chili sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
