How To: HAWKER-STYLE Hainanese Chicken Rice At Home 🙌💯 | Marion's Kitchen

[@cmmiestcat]

Damn, MSG are not bad when taken in moderately. Why do people are so paranoid over it?

[@Marionskitchen]

I actually am fine with MSG when I'm eating street food in Asia...it's just a part of the experience that makes street food so good 😆 And I'm happy to eat it on those occasions and in moderation. But I choose not to cook with it at home. And many of my Asian friends (also my Asian mum) don't like to cook with it at home either. I understand and am aware of the history surrounding MSG and that it was a 'white media' that gave it its notoriety in the USA. But I do have to say that my experience in Bangkok is that many of us are also not fond of MSG for our own reasons (nothing to do with what a white guy said decades ago)...mainly because we're trying to eat and live in a more natural way. It's the same reason I try not to use other chemical or artificial preservatives, artificial flavours or colours in my cooking at home where possible. I hope that clarifies my position. I am certainly not hating on MSG...just saying that if you want to, here's an option that doesn't contain it 😀

[@Janet-sp7qh]

@@Marionskitchen Think maybe you should pin this comment. It did seem to read that there was an anti-MSG sentiment when I heard it in this video. This comment provided the needed context!

[@ARNASI97]

@@Marionskitchen and to add to that, some people who arent really good at cooking just depend on MSG to make their meals taste not so bad. because they know they can use msg to mask it, they dont go out of their way to use spices or experiment on their cooking techniques or just cooking their food a little longer 🤷‍♀️

[@Marionskitchen]

@@Janet-sp7qh Good suggestion! Done!

[@Marionskitchen]

@@ARNASI97 I agree and in Bangkok we often think that street vendors who rely on MSG too much are actually doing it to save on buying better quality or more expensive/flavourful ingredients. It's the same as adding too much salt and trying to hide behind that saltiness.

[@lululauren]

Marion! Could you do a video on how to stock our pantries for Asian cooking? Gojuchang, star anise, lemongrass, Sichuan peppercorns, palm sugar... What else do you keep on hand? I would love to build up my pantry so I’m not constantly running out to the store every time you release a new video 😅

[@alk5311]

YES!! 🙏🏼

[@overseastom]

Ahem... MSG :) It's goddamn delicious when used properly, and it's no more unhealthy than salt.

Awesome suggestion! I'm on it!

🥳 Thank you!

[@soundtest123]

I've been LOOKING for an easy to follow Hainanese chicken rice at home recipe for the longest time and I've finally found one that looks easy enough (although lots of steps) for me to make! The key is really well flavored rice with all that fat and chicken broth... mmmmm! Thank you Marion!

[@Marionskitchen]

I hope you love it when you try it!

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

The real trick is to cook twice as much rice as you think you need, because everyone will have seconds...

[@ADean-wx5kl]

OMG.. how did i just find this amazing chef? Marion, I love all "your version" of asian dishes! Tried several of your recipes and they all turned out perfect! Easy to follow instructions that yields amazing result. Thank you for sharing all your recipes, Marion!

[@christinemwilliams]

I made this for our anniversary. Hubby who, at the best of times, is suspicious of "foreign" food absolutely loved it. Not only that we had the leftover chicken on rolls the next day with cream cheese spread, cucumber and avocado and he couldn't get enough of it. Thank you Marion, I am on my way to converting him thanks to you.

[@LeoSunScorpioMoon]

Thank you for making this easy to follow video, Marion. I have been so homesick for our local Malaysian dishes and wishing I had learned how to cook them when I had the chance. Now, I can 💗

[@Marionskitchen]

My pleasure 😊 Happy to help!

[@keyw.1513]

I love when I come to a channel like this and can read that someone made it a and how they like it.. Ya’ll I made this and it was absolutely positively amazing. I want to make this again ASAP!!! There were no leftovers after 2 days and I was the only guest lol. Thank you Marion! 😉

[@gourabasis]

I studied in Malaysia for my Bachelor's degree. I used to have this very frequently since its such a comfort food. Thanks to your recipe and superb video instructions, i was able to make some of that nostalgia here in India again! Thank you 😊

[@sandygovic1585]

I did this tonight for dinner and my family loved it, so tasty and so light. Broth that we drink in between eating this yummy dish, cleans the palet and heals the soul. Thank you Marion for sharing this recipe ❤️❤️❤️

[@holidaychan7851]

I miss the hainanese chicken in Asia. Thank you Marion! What a great pleasure to watch all the vivid colors: the green onions, the glossiness of the sesame oil & chili sauce on the side!

[@michael6303]

My wife who is Malaysian loves chicken rice and so do I. However, I’m from NEw Zealand and will give your recipe a go.Thank you Marion for your easy-to-follow instructions.

[@akirawill]

We made hainanese off one of your older recipe and used the chicken broth to make an egg drop soup. Multi steps process with tremendous yield. We were fed for dayzzz!

[@Marionskitchen]

Love it!!!! Glad you enjoyed it! That might have been the Thai version that I made I think :-)

[@courtneyrineman7477]

I made this recipe and it came out amazing! I've been looking for a good chicken rice recipe and all the other ones I've tried don't come close to Singaporean chicken rice. Thank you Marion!!

[@dianne3750]

i just made this today and my 3yrs old daughter was able to finish her meal. we absolutely loves it. thank you marrions kitchen :)

[@kimposada]

Yes! Simple and natural recipe with loud flavors! Thank you!!

My dad taught my sister and me to use add lemongrass and pangdan leaves when cooking the rice .

Hello, Marion. Lately, I’ve craved some Hainanese Chicken Rice and yesterday after some research I decided to follow your recipe as my guide. The chicken (and the stock) and ginger-garlic-onion sauce are ready and the rice is on its way. So far, so good, and have no doubt it’s going to be an smashing Friday lunch (and dinner). 😅 Thank you for your videos and inspiration. Have a lovely weekend. 🙌🏼

[@DavidStephens-u2s]

Very good recipe, and much easier than the more traditional method. I have cooked it 4 times now, and i am trying to learn it so that it becomes an easy Sunday eveming meal.

[@robintumman6812]

Hi Marion, Another fabulous recipe, you've inspired me, at 73 years of age and never having tried it, to give it a go today. NB I've watched other videos about this dish and most of them suggest eating the food cold. I'm pleased that you eat it hot as I am not a lover of cold food. We can't find spring onions here in the South of France but they have something similar, with larger bulbs - I'll just bung a couple into the blender for the green sauce. There's a fabulous new large Asian supermarket opened a couple of years ago in Beziers (22 kms away) which is packed with more spices than I've ever seen. They also do fresh coriander which is hard to find around here but sadly, they don't stock spring onions (scallions) which I find amazing, since it's an integral part of many Asian recipes. Just on a pedantic note, why do you refer to the chicken as "him"? Surely they are all "hers". Thanks again for a wonderful video - I find your enthusiasm infectious. Kind regards, Robin. PS I've just had a thought (very rare as I'm originally from Yorkshire and we're not very bright), I'll order some spring onion seeds and grow my own.

[@mariajocelyngagarin9414]

I think I'm doing this now every week for my family and now it's a staple! Thanks Marion... I'm a follower!

[@cpepperson124]

Saw this last night and it looked soo good, I went and got me a chicken.... It was delicious! It was subtle and comforting, but fresh too, especially the ginger/scallion sauce! Thanks, Marion! God bless!

Those in the comments who kept harping on MSG should be ashamed of themselves. Marion didn't say it was bad nor did she say it was good. All of us should know that it's always best to eat everything in moderation. Just make wise choices.

[@pratyushaduttaray271]

My goodness. This is like DaVinci's Mona Lisa. This recipe has the perfect amount of everything - the perfectly poached chicken, the 'just-cooked' long grains of rice and the zing and color of the confinements! Marion, you are a rockstar! Love from India. 😘

Dear Marion! I am a big fan of yours since over a year but now I saw over a couple of weeks Master chef Australia season 2 and saw you there. I was like: whaaaat? Marion!? Of course you were my absolute favorite candidate to win.. Anyway. It was just great to watch you there cooking and I am an even bigger fan now. 🥳

[@Kimwowtw]

As a home cook of Taiwanese origin, I'm really with Marion in this regard. Same as Marion, I don't use it at home, but I don't go out and beyond to avoid it when eating out. MSG makes me thirsty every single time after having some of those Chinese takeaways, and sometimes leaves bitter taste on my tongue too. I sometimes ask the restaurants not to put MSG in the food but they still do and I can taste it. As to whether if it's natural, harmful, carcinogenic or not, there is still not a definitive answer yet. Marion is an excellent chef and her recipes are all very approachable, and there's nothing wrong offering alternative options to MSG for people like me. :-)

[@s-asw1360]

potato chips also contains MSG do you know???

[@francisgutierrez2654]

I tried cooking this Marion, except that I air fried the cooked chicken - best thing ever! Friends loved it!

Someone suggested a video on necessary Asian staples. Lately, having watched many unsatisfying videos on shopping at Asian Markets, I'd LOVE it if you could actually take us shopping with you to get those staples and teach us HOW to shop there (my new local Asian Market confuses me). (BTW, Thank you for another yummy video!).

[@Marionskitchen]

Great suggestion! I've been back in Australia since COVID but I'll add that to my list of videos to create when I get back to Thailand :-)

[@HeyitsDee]

@@Marionskitchen Thank you, Marion. 😊

[@sushisin377]

I am Hainanese from Singapore. I fried ginger and garlic with rice. We usually tied up pandan leaves and put in rice to cook with chicken stock. Choose fat chicken to boil it then u don't need to extra boil chicken stock. I know some people take out chicken from hot water and quickly dip a bowl of ice cube water a few times so that the chicken skin is loosen from meat.

[@mariereta155]

I love your version, i must say I will have to try this recipe. Thanks again Marion for another awesome video♥️

[@CruzR1111]

Being Filipina I grew up with MSG or vetsin as we call it in a lot of our foods my mum even used to coat fries/chips in MSG before frying. Having said that I also used to have a lot of headaches and stomach aches and tiredness and often spent time in the sick bay at school. My parents stopped using it in high school but my former mother in law who is an excellent cook used it all the time and I didn’t connect the correlations between my symptoms and other symptoms like constant sneezing etc til about 16 years ago. As someone with a lot of food sensitivities and intolerances from gluten (can get itchy scaly white skin or even nerve pain) to artificial food enhancers and colouring I may enjoy MSG in the moment but I always know about it after. I’ve had to do the elimination diet twice to figure out why I’ve had spontaneous urticaria (severe hives with burning painful skin) the past 2 years and didn’t know glutamates also occurred in those foods you mentioned. Thank you for informing us where it occurs naturally. I am not saying that MSG is good or bad but I think it’s up to the individual to see whether they have a reaction to it and if it’s right for them. Sometimes symptoms may not occur within hours but food sensitivities can trigger adverse reactions up to 3 days later. Anyway this info is great and if I could stop taking 3 medications a day plus two injections per month because of altering my diet as disappointing as the possibility might be to live without these foods that have natural glutamates my itchy burning skin would be thankful.

[@ebonyloveivory]

A lot of people in the comment section can take a leaf out of your book; to listen and not start jumping on Marion for her choices. I'm glad you shared your story and I hope you are getting better!!!

[@CruzR1111]

ebonyloveivory thank you for saying that. I adore Marion and have done since she was on Masterchef over a decade ago. She’s entitled to choose not to use MSG because the truth is in this day and age there are so many people with allergies and food sensitivities. I don’t feel like she was bagging on it, personal preference is just that...personal preference and it is her cooking show after all and she wasn’t rude or preaching about it. People on comments of KZbin can be quite reactive sometimes and I feel we just need to appreciate that not everyone is going to think or enjoy the same things. This is an excellent booking show which brings so many people joy. Just chill and enjoy it, or not and skip on to the next KZbin clip. Thanks and I am feeling better, just cleaner rating rather than eating out and lots and lots of celery juice or cabbage juice so I can still indulge in yummy treats like this. Have a lovely one ebonyloveivory.

Made this last night but only had boneless, skinless chicken thighs on hand. Was absolutely delicious! I cut off a bit of remaining fat from the thighs to use on the rice and it was so so good.
