Things I Love: #3 – Singaporean Chicken Rice

Filed under: Food,Things I Love,University,iPhone — Hannah @ 8:18 am

Hainanese chicken rice for dinner.

I was craving this so much. My mom keeps promising to send me the household recipe for it, but keeps forgetting! So I googled it, and found a recipe on the Singapore Tourism Board website.

It turned out really well! I made a few minor adjustments;

- Used my hand blender to finely mince the garlic, ginger and chili for the chili dip

- Doubled the amount of ginger I put into the chicken before placing it in boiling water

- Used garlic paste rather than finely chopped garlic for the rice, I didn’t want people to be getting mouthfuls of garlic chunks in their rice

and I served it with some broccoli stir-fried with garlic, ginger, sugar, soy sauce and a little bit of apple juice… I made up the stir fry bit because I forgot the broccoli until the last minute, and it’s customary for me to force the boys in this house to eat their veg.

Invited a couple of friends over for dinner, and it was just enough for 6 people (with seconds!).

Tonight it’s home made pizza’s, maybe?
