Hainanese Chicken Rice (Rice only)

In Singapore hawker centers, you confirm can find at least one Chicken Rice Stall, up to 5 also have! Everyone; young, old, ugly, beautifool and handsome also like. Therefore, I present to you all... Chicken Rice! the rice only wor! :p














The "Liao" :
~4 tbsp oil
4 cup of jasmine medium grain rice
8 cloves of garlic, minced
2 thumb-size ginger, sliced thinly

Seasoning:
Fish Sauce
Chicken Stock
(both agar-agar (approximate) quantities, up to you lah)



How to make ar?

1. Heat up oil first, then throw in the garlic and ginger, sautee till smell shiok (good).
2. If you like, throw in some soaked-up-dried-mushroom-sliced-into-thin-pieces.
3. Dump in washed uncooked rice into the frying pan.
4. Stir stir stir
5. Add the fish sauce (abt 3-4 tablespoon) and Chx stock (1 teaspoon)
6. STIR STIR STIR
7. den wod....
   
8. Transfer the rice mixtures into rice cooker pot
9. Top up water to the normal rice cooking amount (depends on your rice grain type), but add tad more water coz the mixture is hot, water will evaporate faster than the rate of rice getting cooked yo.
10. Serve with boiled chicken, charsiew (bbq red roast pork) plus plus stewed eggs or whatever you like lah ok! STEADY BOM PEE PEE
    

In the topmost picture, I served my rice with mushrooms and chunky Char-siew, I intended to include the charsiew in the recipe as well, but I forgot to take pictures etc, troublesome you know!

I'll give this dish (Charsiew-perng) a price tag of AU$4.20.

Hey HO!

How's it goin? (Ozzie style)
How YoUUuuuu Doin' (F.R.I.E.N.D.S Joey's style)

Just another simple food log to reiterate my love for kitchen works! Sincerely do hope that friends and families will find this URL interesting and helpful in making the dinner spread more tasty and yet easy to prepare with the basic budget student’s kitchen jiapalangs (utensils, equipments and basic spices.)

Being overseas for about 13 years now made my tastebuds easily adjustable to everywhere I go (Indonesia-> Singapore->Brisbane), but no matter where we are, we need that kind of ‘homely’ spread during meal times at home right? Haahaa, therefore a purpose here. When not eating out, I would always prepare meals for 2 (that’s me and Yan), from whatever basic ingredients available yeah. Actually, there’s an evil plot up my sleeve hehhehehhe; I’ll fatten Yan up! Therefore she’ll be nicer to hug mahhh.

Ingredients used are mostly easily attainable from Coles or the Chinese ‘mama’ store around the corner, and the dishes/food I’m gonna log here are supposed to cater to people of the same species as me; busy students; home food (asian, though I do and will post westernizez chomps as well); therefore the URL address ASIANTUDENTFOOD.

Nuff with the nonsense, I’m never good with words before. Let’s get e flog (food log) rolling!

For a starter plan, I intend to put in some stuffs that I cook normally for dinner, Chicken Rice etc. Readers please input on what you want to see in this flog yeah! You’ll get free samples if you stay nearby. Muachkz.
