2 cups jasmine rice
2 spring onions (scallions), trimmed, cut in half
3 slices ginger, skin-on
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2½ cups chicken stock
4 chicken drumsticks
4 small skin-on boneless chicken thigh fillets
sambal oelek, to serve
sliced cucumber, to serve
Spring onion sauce:
1 cup finely sliced spring onions (scallions)
1 tsp sea salt
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp sesame oil
Place the rice, spring onion, ginger, garlic and chicken stock in the bowl of a rice cooker. Nestle the chicken pieces into the rice. Close the lid and select the Automatic setting on the rice cooker, then press Start. Leave until the rice cooker automatic function finishes and the rice and chicken are cooked through.
For the spring onion sauce, use a mortar and pestle to bruise the spring onion and salt until it forms a rough paste. Place the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a small saucepan over high heat. Heat until a chopstick or wooden spoon placed in to the oil sizzles. Then carefully pour the hot oil over the spring onion paste. Stir until combined. Spoon out into a small serving bowl or dish.
To serve, transfer the chicken to a chopping board. Slice the thigh pieces. Serve with the rice, spring onion sauce, sambal oelek and cucumber.
– We made this dish using the Panasonic 10-cup Rice & Multi Cooker SR-CN188WST.
– Sambal oelek is a spicy paste made from fresh red chillies. It’s available from the Asian aisle of most supermarkets or from an Asian grocer.
Hainanese Chicken Rice made easy
This is a fast and easy version of this dish. The longest part will be making the spring onion sauce, which I was able to do while cooking the rest of the dish in the rice cooker.
So simple yet delicious
Absolutely loved cooking this receipe. It was full of flavour. I have plenty of left over chicken and would love some tips on how to use it for other quick meals
Easy and soooo good!!!!
This recipe is so easy and quick and yet very healthy and full of flavor. It is very clean tasting. The flavor of the rice and chicken is the bomb! That green onion sauce added a different layer of flavor. Thank you for this recipe.
