Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 quarts water
1 (3 pound) whole chicken
1 head garlic
1 cup chopped fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
4 pieces ginger, coarsely chopped
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 cups chicken broth
3 pandan leaves
⅓ cup peeled, roughly chopped ginger
4 red Thai chile peppers
½ cup fermented soybeans
1 head pickled garlic
⅓ cup white vinegar
⅓ cup thin soy sauce
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 cup cucumber slices

Steps:

  • Boil water in a large pot. Place chicken, garlic, ginger, salt, and sugar in the pot. Return to boil and let simmer for 35 minutes. Remove chicken, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
  • Heat coconut oil in a rice cooker or heavy-bottomed pot with lid; cook and stir garlic, shallots, ginger, and pandan leaves until golden and aromatic.
  • Pour rice into the rice cooker or pot; stir to coat with oil. Stir in chicken broth and set the rice cooker cycle. If using a pot, bring rice to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Combine ginger, red Thai chilies, fermented soybeans, pickled garlic, white vinegar, and soy sauce in a food processor or blender. Pulse until liquefied, but not smooth in texture.
  • Debone chicken and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Place chicken pieces over cooked rice to serve. Top with sauce (or serve sauce on the side) and garnish with cucumbers and cilantro. Enjoy!

This recipe is a waste of time. The khao man gai was not good at all.

I followed the recipe exactly and the khao man gai turned out bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The khao man gai was good, but I found the chicken to be a bit dry.
