Hainanese Chicken Rice

Method

1. 1

   Poach the chicken with half the ginger and spring onions at the barest shiver, 35 minutes; rest it in the broth 10 more.

   💡 A boil toughens it. The water should barely tremble.

2. 2

   Fry garlic and remaining ginger; cook the rice in the poaching broth with them.

3. 3

   Blend chili, ginger, lime and a ladle of broth into the sauce.

4. 4

   Slice chicken, brush with sesame oil, and serve on the rice with cucumber and sauce.
