Khao Mun Gai
Khao Mun Gai is a popular Thai dish that consists of poached chicken and seasoned rice. The dish is served with a side of flavorful broth, fresh cucumber slices, and a tangy sauce made from fermented soybeans.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch piece ginger sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cucumbers sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken thighs or breasts, garlic, and ginger. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside to cool.
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, using the chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.
- While the rice is cooking, make the sauce by mixing together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Once the chicken has cooled slightly, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- To serve, place a mound of rice on each plate, top with the shredded chicken, and garnish with cucumber slices and cilantro. Serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy!
