Khao Man Gai (Chicken Rice)
ข้าวมันไก่
About this dish
Khao Man Gai is Thailand's beloved take on Hainanese chicken rice: poached chicken served over rice cooked in the chicken's own fat and stock until fragrant and glossy. The dish lives or dies by its dipping sauce, a punchy blend of fermented soybean, ginger, garlic, and chili that cuts through the richness. A small bowl of clear soup usually comes alongside. It is light, clean, and endlessly satisfying, a perfect choice when you want comfort without heat.
