July 30, 2010: Hainan-Inspired Chicken-Inspired Rice

cooking alongside Kurma, nosotros got talking to Diana. Unsurprisingly nosotros shared an involvement inwards vegetarian eating together with cooking together with later she kindly emailed us a recipe she had for vegetarian Hainan chicken rice. Chicken rice was highly recommended past times the Lonely Planet for our trip to Malaysia. We didn't goal upwards finding a vego i on our travels, together with hence nosotros were excited to attempt this recipe out.

It required a few wacky (for us) ingredients - galangal together with pandan leafage nosotros managed to plough upwards at local Asian groceries, but ginger flowers were beyond my shopping skills, together with hence nosotros made produce without. The galangal smells beautiful! Faintly of ginger, but alongside a real sweetness most lolly-ish element. It's a pretty elementary recipe - approximately stock to ready rice in, a dipping sauce, approximately fried chicken together with salady bits.

The stock smelled amazing equally it was cooking, but the rice didn't own got on quite equally much season equally nosotros were hoping. Still, the sauce was mind-blowingly good: tangy, sweetness together with spicy - the perfect accompaniment to approximately pretty decent faux-chicken strips.
