An Inspiration from Nong

I have always wondered how Hainanese Chicken Rice and its addicting spicy ginger sauce is prepared. I have also told myself several times that I would try making it. You see, I did plan on cooking it one time so I looked up some Hainanese Chicken recipes online and most of them required me to shock the chicken. And because I am a novice cook, I shrugged the idea off--until I saw this Thai lady who owns a food cart being featured on #Andybatesstreetfeasts. Her humble food cart is called Nong's Khao Man Gai. 

Khao Man Gai is actually Thai Chicken Rice. I do think that this was the closest recipe that I could get to be able to replicate that Hainanese Chicken Rice. I was amazed as how she's made the process for this dish 2 times simpler. I wouldn't say it was easy, but it was uncomplicated. It was simple, but I bet was very tasty. Her food cart is actually part of Portland's top 10 must visit food carts. I like her. I like her style, the attitude and the simplicity. That said, I finally did try to make Khao Man Gai. 

The process was a little tedious and meticulous but it turned out real good, says my sister. Haha. The best part of this food was the broth and the spicy ginger sauce. I am not gonna put the recipe on here for the reason that this wasn't really something that I "deconstructed" or anything. Deconstructed wow big word for a novice cook. Now that was funny. Lol. :)
