Hainanese chicken rice is a representative dish of Malaysian cuisine — a rice dish with succulent steamed chicken and fragrant rice with flavourful condiments on the side. Some chicken rice stalls in Malaysia also serve various side dishes like stir fry vegetables, roasted meat to go with your Hainanese chicken rice — making it a filling meal for the entire family. Here’s a recipe for you to prepare this dish at home!

Start by cleaning the chicken with crumbled MAGGI® Chicken Stock Cube and let it marinate for 1 to 2 hours. Then, place it in a large steamer or wok and steam it on high heat until the meat is thoroughly cooked. Allow the chicken to cool and set aside the broth from the steamer to be used later. Next, prepare the fragrant rice. First, fry the chopped shallot and garlic until golden brown. Then, add the rice into the wok and stir well. Transfer the mixture into a rice cooker and let it cook by adding in water, chicken broth, MAGGI® Homemade Chicken Stock, pandan leaves and ginger.

Prepare the dipping sauce by blending chillies, garlic and sliced ginger along with some chicken broth. Place a pan over low heat and pour the blended mixture into it. Next, add lime juice, sugar and MAGGI® CukupRasa™ to taste. Lastly, prepare the gravy by mixing light soy sauce, chicken broth, sesame oil and fried garlic oil in a bowl. Plate your Hainanese chicken rice with sliced cucumbers and chopped chicken on the side, and garnish with coriander leaves or spring onions!
