Khao man gai is a classic Thai dish of tender poached chicken served on fragrant steamed rice with a spicy ginger sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 1.5 kg)
- 400 g jasmine rice
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 cucumber, sliced
For the broth:
- 1.5 liters water
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 slices of ginger
- 2 scallions
- 1 tsp salt
For the ginger sauce:
- 100 g ginger
- 5 garlic cloves
- 3 chili peppers
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Don't wash it, or you spread germs around the kitchen. Put it in a large pot with water, add the garlic, ginger, scallions and salt and bring everything to a boil.
- Simmer the chicken over low heat for about 45 minutes until cooked through: at the thickest part of the thigh it reads at least 75 °C, and the juices run clear. Then take the chicken out and let it cool.
- Wash the rice and cook it in 560 ml of the chicken broth until tender.
- For the ginger sauce, finely chop the ginger, garlic and chilies and mix them in a small bowl with the sugar, soy sauce and vinegar.
- Cut or shred the cooked chicken into pieces.
- Arrange the cooked rice on plates, put the chicken over it and garnish with cilantro. Lay the cucumber slices on the side.
- Serve the ginger sauce separately.
