chicken rice

I just suddenly realized that I haven't made chicken rice in ages...Hainanese chicken rice is one of hubz fav thing to eat. When we were in SEasia in '08, he ate the dish at least once a week~ I don't really make it as 'authentic' or as 'tasty' I think... partly due to the lack of ingredients and also my laziness.

I boil a whole chicken in a pot with garlic, black peppercorn and green onion. Then, I use the season chicken stock as cooking liquid for the rice. The dipping sauce for the chicken is made with the same chicken stock seasoned with soy, sugar and sesame oil. If you ask me, the taste is close enough, and a much healthier version too as the rice in traditionally is made with chicken fat, hence the yumminess! =3

Oh~ I also did not have the traditional cucumber and pickles as side dishes. I simply made a quick vege stirfry and toss in some additional ingredients into the remaining stock to make a soup.
