Hainanese Chicken Rice is a Singaporean/Malaysian dish. There are hawker stands in Singapore that have one Michelin star and they only make this dish. Hainanese chicken rice is a chicken poached in an aromatic broth, served with rice cooked in that same broth, a scallion, ginger and garlic sauce, a dark soy sauce with rock sugar, and a salty, spicy sauce typically made with doubanjiang. We decided to use red miso and red Thai chilies instead. We also served it with blanched Chinese broccoli (gai lan) and sliced cucumber. 

Chef Cody wanted to build a class around this dish, because if he could teach someone who didn't know how to cook one dish, it would be this one. It's a simple dish with a lot of technique. And, you can only get better at it the more you cook it. It's also what he makes whenever he cooks at home – which for someone who cooks in a restaurant isn't at often as you would think.

How long will this class take?

From start to finish, this dish will probably take you about an hour. It all depends on the size of your chicken. If you use a high-quality, smaller bird like we did (it weighed just over 3 pounds) it won't take very long to cook. However, if you use a larger chicken, just plan for it to cook longer since we are poaching it on very low heat. 

Ingredients and quantities will be provided once this class has been purchased.
