Singapore's Beloved "Chicken Rice"

Singapore's Beloved "Chicken Rice"

Let’s talk Chicken Rice. This is a deceptively simple dish – one that could be summed up as room temperature chicken over rice. But that summary would do the dish a great disservice. There’s a whole lot more going on. The chicken is gently poached in a ginger, garlic, and green onion broth. The rice is a bit bolder, smacking of sauteed shallot, garlic, and ginger… and is plumped up with the very broth created by poaching the chicken. Some of the broth even gets used to make the chili sauce. Nothing good wasted.
