Chicken rice: Part II

There are many chicken rice recipes on the web, but many of them fall short of the Singaporean hawker centre experience of chicken rice. This recipe is the culmination of years of tweaking and is something that hits the spot for both Wex (a chicken rice rice lover) and I (a chicken rice chicken lover). It comprises of six parts: chicken stock, chicken, rice, chilli sauce, dressing and assembly. While some hawker stalls serve a ginger sauce as well, I don’t find it necessary because my chilli sauce is heavy on the ginger. But if you have the stamina for it, you’ll can make the ginger condiment via this recipe here.

This recipe requires commitment, so if you’re looking for a quick version to soothe your chicken rice urges, try another recipe on the web or make my chicken rice-style glass noodle salad. This one is for days where nothing but a really good plate of chicken rice will do. The following recipe feeds 4-6.
