Singapore Style
Hainanese Chicken Rice is one of the most iconic dishes in Singapore’s hawker centres, originally brought by Hainanese immigrants and adapted into a national favourite. This Hainanese Chicken Rice recipe follows the classic Singapore style method, gently poaching a whole corn fed chicken in ginger and spring onion infused stock, then using that fragrant broth to cook fluffy, aromatic rice.
The magic of Hainanese Chicken Rice lies in precision. The chicken must never over boil. Instead it is simmered briefly, then left to sit in the hot stock to cook through gently. The rice is cooked in rendered chicken fat and stock for rich flavour, and the dish is served with vibrant chilli sauce and fragrant ginger and spring onion oil.
Claypot Black Bean Salmon is a comforting one-pot dish where fragrant jasmine rice is cooked in a claypot until crisp at the base, then topped with salmon coated in a savoury black bean paste. As the fish steams over the rice, the flavours infuse together, creating a rich, aromatic dish with crispy ginger rice and tender salmon.
Red Braised Pork Belly with Eggs
Chinese Braised Pork Belly with Fermented Red Tofu is a deeply savoury, slow cooked classic that delivers melt in the mouth pork coated in a silky maroon glaze. This Chinese Braised Pork Belly recipe uses fermented red tofu to create natural richness and body in the sauce without any added thickening agents.
The key to proper braising is caramelising both the meat and the sauce before adding liquid. That initial frying stage breaks down the fat, builds flavour and creates the foundation for the glossy finish that defines this dish. Traditionally finished with hard boiled eggs simmered in the sauce, this is comfort food at its most nostalgic and satisfying.
This Japanese Fried Rice, or Yaki Meshi, is smoky, savoury and packed with fluffy rice, crispy bacon and fragrant spring onions. Finished with dashi, soy sauce and a touch of sake, it’s a comforting Japanese take on classic fried rice.
