How to make Hainan Chicken RIce 海南雞飯

[gen651]

Some people like to argue about someone's recipe posted at Our Beloved Father YOUTUBE, without experiencing it by following the recipe. That's wrong. What I'm going to do is to try it shortly. In the meantime I judge this recipe is authentic and yummy. And I'll post my comment . Thank you @yungyung13579!

what is the song at the beginning? can anyone tell me?

...This final step usually occurrs after you've finished cooking your chicken. Bearing that in mind, your recipe calls for a total of 2 ice baths after cooking with boiling water - won't the final ice bath become less effective/ineffective with this hot-cold-hot-cold change? It seems like your recipe is using the ice bath method pimarily as a way of temperature control?

2) Why have the repetitive cycle of (after 5mins cooking) put chicken in ice water then cook at least 20 mins then back again in ice water ?

- The "Ice bath" method is recognized as a step to "shock" the chicken with immediate contact to opposite (freezing) temperature. This stops the meat from further "self-cooking" and to shrink the skin and meat so the chicken is bouncy and not soggy.

@pfssst You got it in one, this is why you do it twice...In fact the only different between HN Chicken and Chinese Chicken; are the sauce, rice, longer cooking time, and the way you slice the chicken (smaller pieces with no bone).

Hi there, nice video. I've got some questions about your recipe:

1) Why soak the rice for 1 hour?

- Wouldn't this make the rice too soft and drain the healthy roughage (fibre) away?

- The next step is to fry the rice so you need completely dry rice. Or do you think frying the raw rice with a little bit of moisture is ok?

[thegolfingmachine]

@pfssst The reason why you soak the rice is that, you have to fried it raw. Some people do not fry it at all, they just use the chicken soup to cook it. For get about the Fibre, it is not healthy anyway..

great recipe....looks so repetitious and yet, well, that's exactly how it should be!! is this your recipe? seems like it...tho it's similar to mine, will try it out and let u know.

@yungyung13579

Thanks mate! In fact Hainan Chicken rice is similar to Plain Boil Chicken... But this is what I learnt from a top Hainan Chicken Chef, and he said, " The secret in HN Chicken is just the rice, the sauce and the way you cut the chicken" And you can always over cook a HN Chicken, but must wash it in cold water every time you boil it. Water temperature control is important tho....Most of the video I saw on youtube, is just boiling the chicken....haha

Let me know the result....
