Steps to make Truly Delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice (Khao Man Gai):
- Put the water, seasonings marked ●, crushed garlic, cilantro root, and green part of the green onion in a pot. Cook until the water is reduced to 2/3.
- Add the chicken thigh (remove the excess fat beforehand) in the reduced soup. When it comes to a boil again, cook the chicken skin side down for 3 minutes. Cover with a lid, and turn off the heat.
- Leave the pot with the lid on for 20 minutes or longer to let it cook the chicken in residual heat. When it is cooked, take out the chicken from the pot, and strain the broth.
- If you slice the chicken when it is still warm, it will fall apart, so let it cool down first before you slice. Wrap it to keep the moisture while cooling down.
- Taste the strained broth, and season with salt if necessary. Use 400-420 ml of the broth to cook rice. If you don't have enough amount of the broth, add water to fill up.
- Rinse the Thai rice briefly, and put in the pot, used for making the broth, or in a rice cooker. Add the broth. If you use a rice cooker, fill the broth as following the water gauge in the cooking pan!

- [Helpful Hints] Wrap the sliced chicken with plastic film. When you turn off the heat after cooking the rice, place the chicken on top of the rice to steam and warm up. This step makes the chicken more delicious.
- [For Your Reference] If you cook short grain rice or if you cook with a rice cooker, use the amount of water as following. For short grain rice: less than usual. For long grain rice: same as usual.
