The only thing was missing is the Pandan Leaves and it is world apart. I knew Pandan Leaves is crucial to make a good HCR.<br /><br />Other point to note is that I was unable to make the rice appear 'yellowish oily ' like the outside commercial ones. My rice is more 'dull' or dry in color.<br /><br />Good work!<br />Sathip (Thailand)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-78889895508030655352010-01-28T09:59:23.014+08:002010-01-28T09:59:23.014+08:00Thank you everyone for the comments.
Pris, I pref...Thank you everyone for the comments.<br /><br />Pris, I prefer to not to chop up the garlic and the ginger to the chicken because I want them to slow release the flavour. If you chop it up the flavour will release to fast for the chicken to absorb. It will goes all the the broth. <br /><br />For the rice, we dont want it to be over powering. The garlic and ginger is to help bring out the aroma of the chicken ric plus the other reason is you wont be able to pick you all the mince garlic & ginger. <br /><br />No, I dont add additional salt but I drizzle a mixture of chicken broth, light soy sauce & sesame seed oil on the rice and/or chicken when I serve. Those you see in hawker centre use chicken cubes/powder to cook. That could be reason why you find it not salty enough. I would suggest you get additional chicken bone to make your broth more flavourful to cook your rice.<br /><br />Anonymous, yes, it's raw. If you cook it, it will become (almost) sambal chilli. ;)WokkingMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847485589069215046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-35648211702397927582010-01-24T16:45:17.484+08:002010-01-24T16:45:17.484+08:00The chili recipe abit raw....is it suppose to be l...The chili recipe abit raw....is it suppose to be like that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-58487065014542162512009-11-26T04:41:11.226+08:002009-11-26T04:41:11.226+08:00Hi WokkingMum!
:) I wish I came across your recipe...Hi WokkingMum!<br />:) I wish I came across your recipe earlier! I tried following a friend´s recipe and was quite disappointed twice, because the taste somehow didn´t come out the way it should. It just felt like it was lacking something....you know not like the hawker centre type.<br /><br />I realized that I chopped the garlic into very small pieces and the ginger too, because that´s what I usually do and thought that the taste would be stronger. I noticed for your recipe, you leave the garlic as cloves....does that make a difference to the taste of the chicken rice?<br /><br />Do you add any additional salt besides the 1 tsp when you fry the rice? I find that the taste of the rice is somehow not there yet....geez...didn´t think it would be so difficult.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17386920591626394224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-23698162201420422002009-08-31T02:47:00.807+08:002009-08-31T02:47:00.807+08:00Hi WokkingMum,

Even my friend thought it was pretty authentic. ( I could not find pandan leaves here) Just so you know, I barely cook, so I was surprised that this dish turned out so well. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your recipe. I'm going to start looking through your other recipes as well to see what else I can try out. :)Jacronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966707605937414539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-88744468888723368652009-05-22T17:38:15.775+08:002009-05-22T17:38:15.775+08:00HALO...i am using your recipe as my math project !...HALO...i am using your recipe as my math project !!! hope that i get 1st !!! without this website, i don't know what to do with my project ! so thanks ! :DDionMusichttp://dion-music.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-13974567296588158872009-05-06T14:48:00.000+08:002009-05-06T14:48:00.000+08:00Thanks I really look forward to trying this recipe...Thanks I really look forward to trying this recipe tonight.lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944432892457582348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-47022199372021708402009-04-30T22:45:00.000+08:002009-04-30T22:45:00.000+08:00Vivi,

You can leave it out. It wont affect the taste. It's just that you won't have the lovely fragrant you. :)WokkingMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847485589069215046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-46628406567993817342009-03-07T16:23:00.000+08:002009-03-07T16:23:00.000+08:00TrishS,Hmmm ... how do I describe the smell.

It doesn't taste much when used here for the rice. It's used here more for the fragrant. <BR/><BR/>I doubt there's any other you can replace it cos that's just what Hainanese Chicken Rice is.<BR/><BR/>But you can try lemongrass if you can get it. Although, it smells totally different from pandan leaves, it also make the rice fragrant. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure your boyfriend will like it whichever ingredient you can use.WokkingMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847485589069215046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857175096419758857.post-78036964496708162892009-01-29T11:26:00.000+08:002009-01-29T11:26:00.000+08:00Hi WokkingMumYour recipe sounds great!!

My family totally enjoyed the dish, especially my 16 month old who couldn't get enough rice. I didn't serve the broth, but instead saved it along with any bits and pieces from the whole chicken and 4 breasts on the bone and made more rice. Excellent! I didn;t use fresh Pandan leaves, as all I could fine was the canned extract, but it worked well (although the fresh leave must be much better). The Pandan gives the rice a nice frangrance and taste, which the boyfriend of my daughter said reminded him of coconut milk, minus the milk.<BR/>Defenitely will add this recipe to our weekly menu!
