Khao Man Gai

Poached chicken served over rice cooked in chicken stock with garlic and ginger, accompanied by a chilli-ginger-soy dipping sauce and a small bowl of clear chicken broth. The Thai version of the regional Hainanese-Singaporean dish, gentler than pad Thai or tom yum, with the chicken and rice as the centre and the dipping sauce providing the punch. Subtle and balanced.
