Instructions
SOUP
- Begin by preparing the soup. Slice the winter melon into medium to large chunks.
- Remove a portion of the chicken skin. We’ll use this later as a source of fat or oil for the rice.
- Crush black peppercorns, garlic, and coriander root with a mortar and pestle.
- Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add the chicken, the spice mixture from the previous step, winter melon slices, and bouillon cubes. Let the chicken soup simmer for about 40 minutes and make sure the chicken is cooked.
RICE
- Next, we’ll cook the rice. Rinse your rice thoroughly and let excess water drain.
- In a non-stick wok or skillet, fry the chicken skin until it turns golden brown and releases its oil and fat.
- Add ginger and garlic to the pan and fry until golden.
- Add rice to the pan and continue frying until it has fully absorbed the flavorful chicken oil.
- Transfer the rice to a pot, then pour in the prepared chicken soup. Cook until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
DIPPING SAUCE
- Lastly, we’ll make the khao man gai sauce. Crush garlic, ginger, and chili peppers using a mortar and pestle.
- Add palm sugar, lime juice, soybean paste, and salt into the mortar and thoroughly mix into one sauce.
SERVE
- Portion out your rice on a serving dish. Add chicken and serve with your dipping sauce. Serve your chicken stock in a small bowl. Enjoy!
