Hainanese Chicken Rice (Rice Cooker Version)

Recipe by Inga Lam

A one‑pot, rice‑cooker shortcut of the beloved Singaporean Hainanese chicken rice. Bone‑in, skin‑on chicken cooks together with fragrant garlic, ginger, scallions and a hint of turmeric, while a quick ginger‑scallion oil adds the classic finishing touch. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Critical Success Points

  • Rinsing the rice until water is clear
  • Ensuring the correct water‑to‑rice ratio (especially with broth and turmeric)
  • Keeping the lid closed during cooking to trap steam
  • Sautéing ginger‑scallion oil without burning

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate cutting board and wash hands thoroughly afterwards.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep face away while sautéing ginger‑scallion oil.
