Tips:

-I can not stress enough! If you like Thai food, it is worth to invest in a rice cooker. it is much quicker and easier to cook the rice(and other dishes) in the rice cooker.

-Hainanese Chicken can taste quite bland. Hence, I garnished with Red Amaranth microgreens. It’s mild and tender yet add complimentary flavours to this delicate poultry dish. I also add the peppery Wasabi Mustard microgreens into our intense dipping sauce. Best buddy, I must say.

-Thais are always serving Hainanese Chicken Rice with the plain soup ” Gang-Jued” So feel free to season and serve the leftover flavoured stock with this easy Thai food dish.
