Hi everyone it’s Tasia and Gracia here.
So for today's What’s for Dinner recipe Tasia and I are going to be creating one of our favourite dishes Hainanese Chicken rice.
It is a poached chicken dish served with seasoned rice and two of our favourite sauces.
So Gracia let’s get cooking.
The first thing we are going to do is poach the whole chicken.
These are the vegetables that we are going to put in to make our liquid stock. So I’ve got some carrots I’m going to pop that in. I’ve got some onion, half of a brown onion and I’ve got some celery in the fridge so I’m gonna pop that in as well. And don’t forget you need to put some ginger and we’re gonna put spring onion.
Now that our stockpot is boiling...
Tasia: OMG Gracia it smells so good!
Our one whole chicken. And we’re going to drop it in and be sure to cover it all with the water. And pop the lid back on and turn the lid down to low.
While our chicken is cooking we’re going to be making our two favourite sauces. So for the chilli sauce Tasia we’re going to add some ginger, it’s ok that the skin is on, some garlic, some bird eye chilli and a big red chilli as well. We’re going to blitz it up to form a rough paste.
So to make the second sauce I’ve got half a cup of spring onion here and we’re just going to grate about 2 tbs of ginger.
So I’ve gone ahead and heated up about half a cup of vegetable oil and now to finish all we have to do is pour it.
Tasia: OMG that looks so good.
The chicken has been cooked for 45 minutes. We’ve got some 3 tbs of soy sauce and 2 tsp of sesame oil and gently pour it into the poached chicken.
To make the seasoned rice we’ve got two tablespoons of vegetable oil, 20g of chopped garlic, 10g of ginger and 30g of shallots, 2cups of jasmine rice and about 3 cups of the liquid stock we made earlier.
We’re going to cook until all the water is absorbed and we’re going to turn the heat to low and cook it for another 8 minutes.
And it’s ready. So you there have it, Our What’s for Dinner Hainanese Chicken rice the perfect Isolation cooking.
