- Hainanese chicken rice is one of Singapore and Malaysia's most popular dishes. Here's how to get it right.
My grandfather was a Hainanese cook, my father is from Malaysia and my mother is from Singapore. I've made this hundreds if not thousands of times.

In a world where cynicism goes rampant, usually content creators try to be positive, but a lot of them fall short and they are just like "artificial sweeteners". It's really refreshing to watch a man like this one; enjoying his craft, showing a natural smile, a natural behaviour, Thanks a lot for your videos.
That is so fantastically put. Couldn't agree more! I mean, you can see love he has for food, and this dish in particular, in the way he speaks. Refreshing indeed!
I definitely felt the passion in what he was doing. So I shall make it too. His warmth radiates and that's just everything when it comes to delivering good food.
so true
Nothing wrong with artificial sweeteners though
@5thSuit What I meant (and I guess there is no need for explanation since you are just trying to look smart anyways) is some content creators are just "faking" positive attitudes but in a shallow and apparent way, sometimes even being cringy.
This channel is perfect:
1. Incredibly well shot
2. Straightforward instruction
3. Adam is the perfect host
4. The food is amazing
Ember Catcher I’m gonna say it... it’s peaceful, the channel, the music , the food. Idk if that makes sense?
Diovany Cera that does make sense.perfect description
Kevin Tan cool
The technique of cooking the chicken is not revealed i.e. the temperature of the water and the time required to cook the chicken 🐔. The perfect Hainanese chicken requires these information. It is easy to cook but difficult to master.
@@ronniefoo163 ::: He has a web page with the full details of cooking the chicken and everything else. It was listed under the video in the SHOW MORE area. But I agree, it would have been nice to have more details in the video.

Both my parents are Hainanese and chicken rice is something that really is close to the heart. It's something that my grandparents would cook every time we had those big family dinners, noisy rowdy affairs with Grandma making sure us grandkids had like 3 bowls of rice minimum. Those days are pass now, they are now in heaven. Thanks for the vid :)
Haha, yes. My late grandma always used to say to make sure to cook double the amount of rice that you would normally make for the same number of people, because people eat more when it's chicken rice!
@@adamliaw Who wouldn't? In fact, sometimes I don;t even need the chicken. Just the rice with a good chilli sauce and ginger/garlic paste is enough.
Like you Adam, this is my favourite! I was introduced to this by my Boston cousin. Man...ever since that day, it is what I order at the take out. Since you posted last year, I have been making this at home. I saved this video in my playlist and I am cooking it today. Always , I re watch it before I cook it so that I don’t miss a step. My Boston cousin even got me the poultry hooks and sent them to me. I am set! My hubby says this is so tasty and healthy . He can’t eat too much red meat so it’s chicken 100 ways ! 😂 My new Singaporean friend is impressed that I know how to cook this dish. Cause not many western people know this dish......hahaha. Thanks for posting !
I live 8600 miles away from my family and this recipe brings me straight home back to my childhood. Mother has been bead ridden for 10 years can no longer cook her children’s favorite-chicken rice and I miss her cooking very much. Thank you for sharing your amazing video.
Me! Hainanese 😋 I like this part 🍗
You cannot believe how I happy your Haianese chicken and rice made my husband! I have been married 50 years and never attempted this til you showed me how simple this can be. Thank you Adam, you are a wonder cook!
I swear Adam is the most wholesome chef on the internet
I know he really is a breath of fresh air
You must watch very few cooking shows on the internet then.
Yeah just this show.
Chef John on foodwishes is also amazing
Lmao follow him on Twitter
The best cooking show I have ever come across, authentic, informative, story telling, simple and easy to follow recipe. Plus your calm voice is absolutely appreciated to the ppl who are new to cooking world!
I like the way he smiles, very kind and friendly.
You must be his mother
I don't know how I even found your channel, but it's probably the best one for asian food on the whole bloody site. This is the best thing I ate at any time I visited SE Asia in the Navy, I probably tried 20 different places in Singapore and they were all amazing. I'll make this version next time I do it for the family. Thanks for the great content, man.
Please - give this man a TV show right now!
he has already long time ago
he does in Australia
What is the ingredient called at 9:42?
noooo tv will destroys him
W W that is shrinked chicken skin. the fat in the skin has already melted leaving that tiny piece of chicken skin
*wow* Both you and your production team deserve accolades for this video. The recipe, the story, the music, all of the visual components, the cooking tips ... just, everything just made this an "I'm passing it along to my family" video. Absolutely lovely!
My monster BaWLz deserve accolades than we’ll talk about givin our allcolades to others mmmkay!?
I can't agree more with you! I tried to achieve the same quality with my own videos. I am sure his videos takes up few days to edit and shoot! great content!
I can now take my hainanese chicken rice to master chef level !!! 😋😋😋 I cooked it tonight and hubby said yummm yummm....better than restaurants we go to. This is one of my favourite dishes , pure heaven ! Thanks for the story behind this dish ,and for the wonderful tips to make this a master chef level. I have passed along the video link to my family and extended family.....cause it is too good to keep this secret to myself.
Adam Liam is a true people’s chef. He teaches you how to cook not like a typical celebrity chef that shows off. Love every episode that chef Adam produces.
You are one of the best home-cooks MasterChef Australia has produced. Your passion for food reflects in your cooking. You're your own Nigella. The food looks soulful. 🤗
This must be my 10th time watching this. One of the things I LOVED while I lived in Singapore was this. I couldn't find a restaurant that has this in the US (at least where I live) so I followed your recipe over and over again because it tastes just like what I had back in the day. So thank you so much. Love your work Adam keep it up!
I forgot its a cooking show,,,,felt like a massage parlour
Omg you need to make an audio book !!! I’ll listen to it for days
My anxiety is raging and these
Videos are chilling me out beautifully
Hi Adam...I have found you easier to follow than the rest of what I have watched, I posted my version of Hainanese Chicken Rice in my facebook and some guys saw it and whoala! They ordered a set with rice, i just sold it for us$4.00, I have a small business but not operational at the moment, almost drowning now as no one is back to work. So, I decided to divert anything to earn fir a living as I have 8 guys to feed heee including me :) I started to follow your menu and cooked whatever menu that I think I can follow easily as I am PWD (person with disability) i asked my family member to help me for the preparations. I wished to learn more of your menu. Thank you Chef for the inspiration.
I just discovered this man's channel and I must say I could watch his video for days even if I'm not cooking. It's so soothing, wholesome, lit, educative, more lit, more soothing, ASRM-ry, Calm, Cool, and 195+ Adjectives.
Thanks man. Keep making videos like this!
Everytime he smiles, I smile back
Adam could be talking all day and I wouldn't budge while listening to him. Couldn't imagine how a soft-spoken voice could contain so much passion until now. Cheers to the awesome production and recipes!
I love this man’s energy and his voice! And of course the food 🥘
I loved Adam ever since i saw him on Masterchef Australia and i was so happy to come across this channel. It's beautiful in every way.
This is the BEST recipe on the internet, I followed it to a tee and it is not only authentic, it tastes even better than what they serve at a Malaysian, Chinese or any restaurant Ive ever been to. Thank you so much for this.
There's an ASMR quality to Adam's voice. I really like how soft spoken he is, and somehow he instantly gives off a very friendly and approachable vibe. I especially appreciate how he breaks down the components of the dishes that he cooks - this way, it makes it less scary for first timers; oh, so we start of with part 1, then move on to part 2 and then part 3... then voila!
The production value alone deserves more than 77k subs.
Great story. Great recipe. Great technique. Great on-camera presence. I'm hooked!
I don't know what algorithm told me i'd like this but dear god, i appreciate this channel and this man.
Not sure how u popped up in my feed but I’m so glad you did
Chap, I’m so glad to have found this channel, for real. At the beginning of the video I thought that it’s almost impossible to recreate your recipe (mortar, hooks for chicken, rice cooker, that wooden thingy), but in the end it was absolutely irrelevant! What matters is the general atmosphere, the sincere attitude of yours, the quality of the video - everything came up together like a perfect Hainanese chicken rice! Thank you so much
It's not just a cooking video, it's the charisma the music the camera the story. You have the perfect recipe for video.
Anybody notice how kind and open this dude is? He was like you don't have to use a rice cooker, or a mortal and pestle, or etc. You can still make Hainanese chicken rice well without all of it. Quite a different feeling you get compared to all the purists out there.
Love your channel, Adam. We are making this tonight. We don't have the pandan leaves, so will leave that out. Lots of love from Calcutta.
A little kewda essence would have a similar effect. Found my little jar in Kankurgachi
My two favourite UA-cam recipe channels in this comment thread! Big fan of both Adam and Bong Eats. Delighted!
Bong eats is here. two of my favourite channel owners. Hope you are staying safe in these disturbing times saptarshi and insiya.
@@imonbanerjee2997 Yes, we are staying home. Thank you!
Never expected u here😅
This dude goes the distance to teach us really detailed recipes. Much appreciated!
This episode is a real testament to the love that Adam's family shares. They loved him and he loves them and it shows.
All I can say is "WOW". It looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to try this with my family. Thank you!
Cooked this, it was amazing! I made ramen, chinese dumplings and now this following your recipes, it’s soo amazingly good ❤️ you are the only good thing that happened to me this past 6 months 😂🌶❤️
His voice is so relaxing. You can tell he really puts love into his cooking
This is definitely one of the most thorough videos I’ve seen on this dish. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips!
Lol he really feels like Bob Ross if he was a chef.
Wow, i just realized this. Yes it really feels like it.
he was a chef actually .. a celebrity chef to be precise ... winner of master chef australia season 2 ...
@@pointeablanc8926 he meant if Bob Ross was a chef not Adam
THIS IS the tutorial ive been looking for for the past 5 YEARS!! Thank you soooo much for this!! If you know how to make Roti Canai too pleasee I would love to learn that as well!
I love the way you speak about this dish. You can hear your smile in your voice
This is amazing. I’m sharing this video to my Mum, she’s retired now and living in NC. Not many asian markets near her. She’ll be thrilled. Thank you.
One of my favourite places in my apartment is the kitchen.. but looking at his kitchen set up, there is a zen feeling to it. watched this video while studying and the stress level just reduced.
really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work !
Just discovered this channel thanks to youtube. I remember watching Adam from Masterchef (and his reaction to the snow egg!) and he was my favorite contestant throughout the show, really humble and hardworking. Great videos, just one suggestion if not incorporated already - please taste your dish at the end and describe the flavors/textures (and maybe the right way to eat a dish for folks like me who haven't traveled a lot). Thanks!
Finally, a video where the creator is informative but doesnt talk too much. Explains the history and method without unecessary chatter....soothing voice, soithing background music. Perfect.
One thing I love about this video is his voice and the way he talked and cooked is very soothing, sort of laid back, nice and easy cooking show. Definitely different from the usual fast pace cooking programme. It's refreshing!
So relaxing, so wholesome, i love this ❤
My first and last meal when I'm in Singapore! 😋 Now, I'm craving it!
This is such a hearty and wholesome dish, even making it is such a wonderful experience, you really feel as if you're nourishing the people you love when they sit down to share it.
I love watching you cook and the way you speak is very calming and relaxed. You come acroos as genuine and your passion comes across in a modest way. Very inspiring. Thank you
My favourite dish of all time..❤️. Thanks Adam..! Still remember watching you on Masterchef Australia like yesterday..🙂.
Adam was always one of my favourite Masterchef contestants and this video perfectly encompasses why. He is so wholesomely passionate about the food especially when cooking a dish that is so close to his heart such as this one. I am currently on a holiday in Thailand and on my first day in Bangkok I got some Hainanese Chicken Rice for the first time. At first I thought it looked too simple and unappealing but the flavour was incredible and I'll never underestimate a dish on looks alone again!! Beautiful video Adam, thanks for being a breath of fresh air on UA-cam.
the chilli, ginger sauce that Thai's put with this dish makes it taste amaaaaazing!
There are many channels out there that teach us how to cook these. But I find Adams teaching to be very informative and very professional, explaining every little things and very attention to detail
Just made this for the first time today during this quarantine cookathon. The teen, tween, 4 yr old, and hubby all raved it’s one of the best dishes I ever made! Thank you sooo much for the recipe!!!
That's an authentic Aussie Hainanese Chicken Rice. That's some good stuff there. Look forward for more.
No such thing, Aussie Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Whoa dude, your cooking vid is just epic and calm. Love it! Beautifully done both the chicken rice and the video itself. Subbed ! :)
These videos are so soothing and informative. Love them.
I’m Cantonese and I love everything Adam put together in this episode.
Wow! I've watched several other videos for this recipe but this one really tops them all. Thanks so much! :) BTW, I've lived in Asia for 45 years and I'm also a huge fan of Hainanese chicken rice. :)
I fell in love with Chicken Rice in Singapore and my version of it is a big favourite with my family. I roast the chicken with the aromatics and then use the rendered chicken fat from that to fry the rice. The reason I roast it is because the boiling method takes more time and I don't find boiled chicken particularly appetising.
That ginger chilli sauce looks amazing and I'll have to try that next time I make it.
You make cooking look so relaxing and soothing with your calming voice.
man the love you have for this dish really shines through.
Nice AP Adam, glad to see you're doing well!
He’s such a bear 😭♥️ so calming
Yesterday in the night I arrived in Singapore. This morning I went to a Hawker Center near me. Without knowing what a big deal this dish is, I choose it. And it was good in its very unique way. I would call it gentle, what I never called a dish. It may look and sound boring and I can't find a word that sounds exiting and fits this dish. Yet it was so good, I will eat it tomorrow again and I instantly had to Google the recipe, to see, if I can make it at home.
I'm so glad, I found this channel. This gentleman has such a classy, attitude, it is rare in social media.
I like how happy he looks when he's cooking. You can tell he really is enjoying the whole process
MSG is a naturally occurring salt and has no unique negative health effects. It's no different than table salt as far as its healthiness goes.
👼🏿 👩🔧 🙅♂️👩🎓. 💂♀️🙅♂️fingerbottom xoxo. 💂♀️🤦♂️🧕🏽🧕🏽 Xo sauce
But chinese aunties say otherwise. When we tell them its harmless and they ask for proof. we show them the numerous studies done on msg to which they say "fake news" "hoax"
To quote Anthony Bourdain “Racism.”
PumpkinsnBlackcats okay, but that’s an allergy… people can be allergic to anything lol
I think they were more talking about the headlines that claim eating MSG will kill you, which is untrue unless you’re allergic

Chicken rice of “chicka rye” as my children call it was our staple when we lived in Singapore. You could always grab a plate for under $4, and the kids adored it.
It is also very fattening
Wow, cleanest, sweetest comment thread I have ever read. This looks like love! Thank you!
I searched for chicken rice to just cook the rice but i ended up watching the whole thing without skipping. It's so calming to watch your video! Im glad that i clicked this and im definitely subscribing!!
Adam, thank you so much for this authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice! I cannot thank you enough for such patience and tips. I love this chicken rice and I have tried your methods and followed very closely (and also tried to understand in between lines, as I know my pots and ingredient brands are slightly different). I tried and be very very patient, treated the chicken like a baby. I turned out so perfect that I almost cried when I tested it! I can say I have succeeded this time and all thanks to you and your recipe.
I will look no more for Hainanese Chicken Rice in where I live. Your recipe is closer to home- Malaysia/ Singapore (imo) and I now prefer to cook at home for my British husband.
P/S: We bought organic chicken this time for the chicken rice. But we would like to try farm chicken (kampung) next time when we try it, just to see how close we can get the texture.
For this time- my flavour is 95% close, and I will improve on the rice (80%)
Waiting for my husband to bring back some bird's eye chillies.
Thank you Adam!
Love from UK
Adam with the AP watch swag
One of the first things I noticed when I came across his channel.
Props to him
Sick one adam
He has a patek too. Looks good
I thought that's what it was lol
I lived in Singapore and this chicken is life!!! I am beyond thankful and elated and grinning ear to ear from this video!!! Made my day!☺️
Thank you for being so calm. Lovely video.
Adam, in Sydney which restaurant do you think serves this dish best?
I didn’t know how bad I needed chicken hooks and a hangie thing until now😊
IMINTOMAKEUPNOW
When ever I see something new like these chicken hooks, I get the urge to rush out and buy them. The problem is when I bring them home and try to explain to my wife why I need them. I usually get a big “GOOD LORD!”
Right? I called a carpenter to have it made 😂
@@hzlkelly 😂😂
in 10 minutes I learned how to make something, sentimental, heartfelt, meaningful, and culturally significant.
at the same time, i could probably spend my whole life learning new ways to perfect this dish & bring people together with it, as you clearly have.
this is truly quality content and it made me very happy to share in your experience. thank you!
Thank you finally for a chef who knows what he’s talking about! As a chef / hospitality professional for 25+ years, and traveling for a minute, I can attest these are solid tips
I want you to narrate my life
njc2o 😂
I would prefer the video without music but the production’s overall, great recipe, had tips i didnt know
I prefer you don’t comment mundane garbage
Phillip Ngo gd, u stated your opinion in a needlessly condescending tone.
Now, this opinion is not garbage as music , especially the upbeat kind in the video detracts from the experience imo because it forces a mood that isnt meaningful to the prep. I would rather hear the sizzle behind a sear, or any of the cooking process in its organic form than listen to stockmusic number 2 directing my emotions.
and that, kids, is why we don't scroll down into the comment section
I'm Hainanese and my family and I would eat this dish like every Sunday lol (not as often anymore) and this was so cool to watch!! Makes me happy :) hopefully it passes on!
I just want to thank you! You're an amazing cook, very sympathetic and you just taught me how to make my favorite dish of which I couldn't get enough during my travels to Singapore and Malaysia. You even made it better than I had it at many places. Thank you!
Hope this pandemic comes to an end soon, so I will be able to visit these beautiful places again. So long I will show my family and friends how delicious these places are.
This guy is suspiciously happy. I dont trust him. still enjoyable
Manol Tonchev follow his Twitter, he’s secretly a sass king haha
@@emmakatenotcake i live for his sass
Uh....
LMAO.
Omg. I felt the same way.
well in Australia that amount of gingers can cost as much as those chickens sometimes.
Here in US, that whole thing will cost $2.
Coz Australia has overinflated wages.
So true haha
Really,?
Doesn't ginger grow in Australia? Would be costly to import it because you guys are like a continent by yourself.
You are very honest and a good teacher.
We love hainanese chicken rice and we miss it now that we love in The Netherlands! Thank you for explaining this so well. You have a lovely manner and the way you speak is so calming. I enjoyed listening to you.
you probably wont see this. But i'd love to know what brand those saucepans are? they're beautiful
I've asked that in previous videos and haven't received a reply, I'm sorry to say.
They are one of the saucepans only true chefs cook with... I really don’t want to tell you but hey someone will eventually tell ya, minds well be me. Now they are know to the very few as CokNbawls. True chefs only use CokNbawls
Myles Bishop I thought CokNbawls only made items to toss salad?
The blue pot he uses is a Le Creuset. I don’t know about the other little pan though. You can find similar if you google dimpled saucepans.
@@emmakatenotcake the style of saucepan is called a Yukihira. I was wondering about the specific brand he used. There are many out there but his are particularly beautiful.
msg is not bad for your health. -fda
anuragbhaiya enjoy the pasta with tomato sauce with mushroom and Parmesan cheese on top? That’s MSG. The Doritos you munch on during movie night? MSG.
The problem with MSG is the same with excessive salt intake. Nobody would empty an entire bag of MSG to season a dish, much like no sane chef would use an entire box of salt to season.
At one time, the FDA also said you need 11 daily servings of grains and bread .... If something makes me thirsty and gives me brain fog, it probably isn't doing me any good.
@@LaserrSharp I was just using FDA to say my own opinion- which is that msg is found in tomatoes, msg is just concentrated version of it, the origin of Asian restaurant syndrome is based on something else.
@@LaserrSharp you're such a fucking arsehole.
@PumpkinsnBlackcats Fuck off you insane antivaxxer freak.
This is one of my favorites, so simple and very delicious. I love to cook it for my kids, love your way of doing it, I'ma have to try it that way.
This is literally the most soothing food video EVER... subscribed!
I will destroy my kitchen trying to make this lol.
I tried this at home. It's so good my family started punching each other. I am the only survivor. I am an orphan now.
You are my new favorite! Your positivity, enthusiasm and openness are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this family recipe with us; I will try it soon for friends.
Hello chef adam! I dont know if you will be able to read this but after many tries i have finally perfected your recipe. Thank you very much! You cooking made such wonderful memories to me and my family.
I love this dish but sometimes I get chicken parts that have red/pink spots, especially near the bones and my appetite goes pooooof!
That is the pigment 'myoglobin' and is normal, even in a properly cooked chicken.
@@danagboi
I still can't get past that hurdle..... I can count the times I had Hainanese Chix where the parts I had did not have the pink/reddish spots.
Ok, I might have simplified my reply a bit. One can cook a chicken to perfection and still have some pink/red spots in the flesh. These pigments are caused by either haemoglobin (from blood - the chicken has been bruised during its slaughter, or a bone has been fractured allowing some blood to escape and pigment the surrounding flesh), or myoglobin, which is a pink pigment in the muscle. If you are getting red/dark spots then I would think that it is due to the butchery/slaughter of the bird. If bones are fractured or muscle is bruised then there will be pink spots. I would recommend you seek out a good quality chicken. Don't buy from a supermarket, buy from a butcher who can tell you that the chicken has not been mass produced. Chickens are one of the most consumed animals on the planet. No joke, over 50 BILLION chickens are slaughtered every year. If you are buying your chicken from a supermarket, then it is likely a cage raised chicken which is slaughtered on a mechanised production line which would result in bruising and fractures of the bones. If you find a butcher who actually cares about where his or her produce comes from then you might be lucky enough to buy a free range chicken who has been slaughtered on the farm and will be free of the physical trauma a production line chicken would exhibit.
But in essence, pink spots on properly cooked chicken are not a cause for concern.
@@danagboi
Your reply might be long but I learned a lot today. Now I can enjoy hainanese chicken, master stock chicken, poached chicken in ginger broth, etc...😊 Thanks!
Cause in many southern Chinese chicken dishes, a good chicken is barely pass the edible line to keep the tenderness. In fact I would say the cook don’t know how to make hainanese chicken if there is no pink by the bone. There are two good way to taste good meat, one is like bbq rib, the meat is so soft you want to tear down meat from bone with you lip.is it’s like steak, you don’t want over cook and lose the flavor. This dish the the steak one
Have you gotten serious about watches ? Is that an AP Royal Oak on your wrist ? Or maybe Maurice Lacroix Aikon ?
It's an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, you can see it in some of the close ups.. Extremely impressive. (y)
I'm so happy I found this channel. Very good watching for sad times, so welcoming and unpretentious.
Such a lovely video. Brilliantly executed and captivated your passion, Chef Adam!
Who in the world said msg is bad???
A lot of ignorant people
Hi, I'm a scientist who tests on daily food people consume and I done a lot of research on msg and I can tell you its safe to consume msg.
We knows it's safe to consume MSGs... but we are loosing too much hairs in the process...haha
The sharing not only shares chef’s knowledge but also his warm story behind the delicious dish and it makes such a great watching experience.
First time watching your channel and I am deeply inlove already! Thank you for sharing, Adam!
