Soy Sauce Chicken + Chicken Rice + Chili Garlic Sauce

I missed Chicken Rice very much especially the roasted chicken rice. Therefore I decided to make my own for lunch. But the chicken isn't the same as I did Soy Sauce Chicken instead of the roasted chicken or Hainanese Chicken.

Ingredients for Soy Sauce Chicken :-

• 2 thigh + 1 chicken breast
• 1 cup water
• 4 tsp light soy sauce
• 5 pieces star anise
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 inch old ginger ( sliced )
• 6 cloves garlic ( finely chopped )
• Salt to taste

Steps:-

1. Boil the chicken for 20 minutes or until cooked. Removed the chicken and set aside to cool.
2. Retain broth for use on rice and chili sauce.
3. Boil 1 cup of water with light soy sauce, star anise, Cinnamon stick, garlic and ginger at high heat.
4. When sauce rolling boil, add in brown sugar and chicken then reduce the heat to medium.
5. Let the chicken simmer in the soy sauce for 45 minutes or until the gravy nearly dry.
6. Turn off the heat and prepare to serve with rice.

Ingredients for Hainanese Style Chicken Rice:-

• 2 cups rice ( washed )
• 2 tsp oil preferably oil from frying chicken/ cooking oil ( I used oil from frying turmeric chicken )

1. Heat the wok with oil and then saute the ginger and garlic until light brown.
2. Add in rice and 2 tbsp water. Stir well until rice is coated with the oil.
3. Pour the rice mixture into rice cooker and add in pandan leaves and chicken broth.
4. Ensure the chicken broth enought just to cover the rice.
5. Cook as usual you cook the normal rice.
6. When the rice is ready, check the rice whether is too hard. If yes, you can add some chicken broth into it but not too many and re-cook.
7. Ready to serve with the chicken.
