You gotta have the chili sauce made for this chicken rice (sorry, I forgot to include it in the photos LOL). The rice that is served with the chicken is cooked with garlic, shallots, pandan leaves (screwpine leaves) = FLAVORFUL! In Southeast Asia, most dishes are served with chili and chicken rice is no exception.
The chicken is “pale” in color, but don’t let that color fools you because it is definitely not pale in taste I can tell you. No other messing around with the chicken after that. Traditionally, the whole chicken is basically gently “poached” and resulted in very tender meat. So-called due to its roots in Hainan cuisine and its adoption by the Hainanese overseas Chinese population in the Nanyang area (present-day Southeast Asia). Hainanese Chicken Rice is comfort food for most people in Asia, including me. I used to not making it often because it’s a little bit of work, but ever since we own a pressure cooker (Instant Pot), making this pressure cooker Hainanese chicken rice has been a breeze and so much faster! This pressure cooker Hainanese chicken rice has now become our weekly staple.
Even my kids love Hainanese chicken rice. Don’t be fooled by its pale appearance, this baby is anything but tasteless. My addiction to Hainanese chicken rice was exacerbated when I lived in Singapore for 3 years. They say you can’t visit Singapore without eating Hainanese Chicken rice.
