KHAO MAN KAI (Chicken & Rice)

Khao Man Kai (literally rice with chicken fat) in the Thai version of the Hainanese chicken & Rice, a dish very popular throughout Sout-East Asia and very common in our street food. The dish consists of boiled chicken, served with ‘pilaf’ rice made with chicken fat and stock, and served with the broth of chicken as a soup, and a fragrant ginger sauce for dipping. It is a very subtle and mild dish that everyone can enjoy; but do not rely on its apparent simplicity as it will take some time and dedication to gather all necessary ingredients and preparations for this recipe. Good thing is, one batch can feed the whole family and all ingredients should be easy to find in your regular supermarket. Our Blue Elephant ginger sauce will be the perfect dip to perfect this dish !
