Today, auntie Liz aka the queen of chicken rice is joining uncle Roger
Hello
And together we gonna review sorted food
how to make Hainanese chicken rice
When we discover Singapore was our theme for our mystery box
We then asked you guys what we should make
Everyone In Singapore said chicken rice
Of course they say chicken rice that the only good food Singapore has
Haiya, too hot today
Both of us sweating
Auntie Liz has new cookbook out
It's called Makan. It is about all the recipes that I cook at home for dinner time
Lots of full of delicious recipes including Hainanese chicken rice
and the Nasi Lemak
But you don't need cookbook, just using feeling
Cookbook for what?
The people who don't know how to cook
So send one copy to Jamie Oliver
It is unbelievably delicious and obviously chicken to start the show
So what you wanna do is make an amazing chicken stock
and then we use that stock to cook the rice
And the rest just happens
That technique sounds correct
Stock is leek, spring onions, little bit of ginger,onion,coriander stalk
A pinch of black pepper, a load of cold water and a whole bird
No no no don't use leek
This is Asian cooking, nobody use leek
Just spring onions is enough
I won't use onions also, I would use shallots, I much prefer the flavor
Onions for poor people
Are they poor?They don't look poor, they got a whole studio
Uncle Roger recording in this shithole and I can't afford shallot
Where's the garlic?
They either vampire or they hate flavor
Also they didn't peel the ginger, that's quite lazy
Haiya, peeling ginger so easy
And I'd also use pandan
That's the key ingredient for Hainanese chicken rice
But pandan hard to get I guess
Not so much now
White people don't know what pandan is
Pandan is like a green leaf it has a very unique flavour
that is very very particular for Hainanese chicken rice
So always trying to source some pandan when you're making this dish
Correct. If you don't live close to shop that sell Pandan
Move
But the biggest ingredient they missing
Is the king of flavor MSG
Where is your MSG, sorted food?
Where is your MSG?
Auntie Liz, do you use MSG in your food now?
Do you want the real answer answer or the PR answer?
Give me the real answer
Yeah I use MSG
There is always dignity in death
Now some of you said that are key to a good chicken rice
Is to exfoliate the skin
That's to rub in salt and then wash it off
I wish he stop holding the chicken like that
Yeah it looks a bit weird who hold chicken like this
Where's the respect
Don't give this guy children, this how he gonna hold his baby
Is this how you hold your baby Riley
No
No? Do you beat your child?
No!
Really?
I'm not gonna say that on camera
You have so many kitchen utensil
What the point of having so many kitchen utensils if you can't use any to hit your child
Hit your husband
A key to a good chicken rice
That's to rub in salt and then wash it off
Wait so that's what exfoliate means?
My ex-wife Auntie and she spent so much money on skincare exfoliation products
That turned out you can just rub salt on face
Done that, it goes into our water
And get all that rest of water in
That's like a lot
Yeah
You want to basically cover it
Give it a little chicken bath
It's going to be delicious
That sounds correct, sounds a bit wrong but it is correct
And then you bring it up to a very gentle simmer
and cook it about 45 minutes until that chicken is just cook through
This could be the most heavily influenced community recipe we've ever made
Cause you guys bombarded us with amazing tips
Too many cooks spoil the broth
where would hundreds of anonymous YouTube comments be any better?
Yeah
I'm not confident
Who take advice from Youtube comments, Haiya
It is not gonna be good
Keep watching video to see if auntie Liz prediction correct
Chicken rice has some very distinct characteristic that we can't mess up
Haiya that chicken look so pale and sick
It look like Darth Vader so when he take the mask off The end of Star Wars
The chicken that could have used a corn-fed one
It will give it a nice yellow hue on skin and the meat
This free-range chicken doesn't look so good but too anemic and pale
Correct, say no to free-range chicken
Don't give chicken good life, otherwise they all look like shit
This video does not represent any of auntie liz's view on chicken
Please go to her restaurant
Please come back
After about 45-50 minutes of bubbling away in here
This is cooked
To check, place a skewer into the thickest part of the leg
That like acupuncture for chicken
Just make sure any juices doesn't run out
All clear
It is like you're changing a nappy
How's that like changing a nappy?
Does he know what changing a nappy look like?
I don't think so if I have a child that's not like changing a nappy
Haiya, these people must be alone they both look like they don't have girlfriend
These two nephew looks so single how you know what changing nappy look like?
It is like you're changing a nappy
And then this is where you
I like how every joke this guy makes gets ignored
Uncle Roger don't know why he there Haiya
what is his purpose? He not cooking he not commenting and he not even eyecandy
Why he there?
This is where you get that awesome characteristic feel
This goes into an ice bath
Correct
This is what gives its silkiness, right?
I would also maybe put a little bit more water
or get a bigger ice bath so you don't have to use your hands to touch the ice
And also don't forget to season the water with salt or MSG
Make sure you put it in an ice bath
Like any athlete
And actually this chicken
His joke got ignored again
This guy ignored by women and also by men
In the meantime we can take all this chicken stock
And bubble it rapidly about half an hour
To reduce it down to something that is so so delicious
And much darker in color
It looks like he reduced a bit too much
Hainanese chicken rice broth should look really light
Yeah it supposed to just be clear broth you serve on side
Yeah but his looks like a muddy puddle
It look like nephew Nick's ramen broth
And we've been soaking our rice
This is Thai fragrant rice
Fuiyoh! Uncle Roger like Thai fragrant rice
Now we can make this paste
That's just root ginger, garlic
Peeled, both blitzed up or pounded by hands with a little bit of oil
Ok ok so far use some chicken fat maybe instead of oil bit more flavour
And no sesame oil
So the paste have been made with the little bit or vegetable oil, in this case with groundnut
But the real secret here comes in the form of chicken fat
Oh good, correct
Top of the stock and that chicken fat is pretty much what we gonna use to start the rice off
Ginger and garlic paste
Fry that, cook out the water
Good
Fry that for a couple of minutes until it goes translucent, and then
They frying raw rice, but you don't want it to go translucent
It's not like a risotto you want to do it very fast so quick to impart all that flavour into the rice
Correct, if your rice trancelucent
You fucked up
And then went in out stock
Why they doing it in a saucepan, not a wok?
Haiya
You are the only one out of all of us who have been Singapore
Do you remember anything about the food when you went?
What I remember is having amazing street food in a Hawker stand
I remember for four of us ate for like five Singapore dollars
Again, this is going back for a while
Haiya just cook
Uncle Roger don't want to hear your holiday haiya
I think some people just want to make the videos longer for the ad revenue
Too much bullshit
They keep talking, the rice is fucked
and you know it's kind of ready when you can hear the sizzle
It look nice
All of our chicken stock
Give it one stir
Turn it right down, put a lid on it, I'm going to cook it until that rice absorbs
Probably need about 10 minutes
Haiya
Just use rice cooker
That studio so nice, can't afford a single rice cooker
Even Uncle Roger favourite K-pop group stray kids can bring giant rice cooker on stage
But they can't even afford small one
How do you make rice and Mei Mei?
Do you use the saucepan method or do you use rice cooker?
No we have four very large rice cooker
Four rice cooker! Auntie Liz is rice cooker fuckgirl
Damn right
Ok, now they make the chili sauce
Water, A pinch of sugar
Cook it in a pan heat it up
Just so the sugar dissolves and left with really delicious but mellow soy sauce
Much more subtle
And if you guys do want to make your own chilli sauce
And you guys have the memories of doing that and pounding it with a pestle and mortar
Uncle Roger do you like pounding
Only when they come to chili sauce haiya this auntie liz so dirty
Is that why Auntie Helen left?
Don't bring up painful memory, Auntie Liz
Ok
Uncle Roger haven't pound anyone in so long
I think I forgot how to pounding work
So first up that we want to take out the spine
So we wanna basically cut
Is this look all good so far?
It looks good, the technique looks good
So what you end up with two
Very very small cleaver there
then you want to take off the wings
So tiny, you're right
Goes automatic through
And they haven't hung the chicken, that's why it's so juicy
When you hang it, it rest a bit more
I've washed my hands, but I just wanna
Stop touching the breast
Maybe they like it juicy
Because they so single that that the only moist thing they can touch
That bit can be served as well
Just cut through the bone and people can chew on the breastbone and then basically
Uncle Roger think that chopping look ok
Technique is ok
With chicken but obviously the prized meat is the dark meat
Correct
White meat chicken breast meat taste like cardboard, no taste
Pull the bone out
But leave the chicken thigh
That's the prized bit of meat
Price bit of meat is also what uncle Roger call my p****
sorry children
You can see the rice now
It is absorbed
It's got the shine
From the actual chicken fat but
Is this non-stick saucepan should you be using metal spoon on this?
No definitely not
Haiya if his parent asian, he gonna get disown by his parents
Get slapped by the slipper
Correct
Should been using wok anyway then you can use metal spoon
Where your wok, sorted food?
Flavour from the stock, the ginger and the garlic
Saucepan getting killed
Place it properly
Put it in the bowl put in bowl, flip it over
That skill even Jamie Oliver have
Don't half-assed this shit
Haiya
What's this mess in the background as well
you have got my chicken carcass
chicken roadkill
You're filming video, just put shit away
Don't throw the bones away, put in the stock
Oh correct
Make more stock
Listen to Auntie Liz
Serve the breast, thigh
Plus we got our cucumber
Don't forget the sauces
Beautiful
He just get ignored
Don't forget the sauce
Beautiful, Beautiful
He just get ignored again
Why he there?
And that right there a dish to be proud of
Hainanese chicken, sorted
That's his only contribution to the video
Saying sorted
That's not a bad job, he getting paid a lot of money
Just to say sorted
That's almost melting in your mouth
Haiya, why they using forks to eat the rice
In Singapore and Malaysia we use spoon
Yeah
They messed up so bad even auntie Liz saying haiya now
Stop using fork, stop poking your rice, haiya
That a very white thing to
This video does so white the rice white the chicken white
People all white
This video whiter than Jamie Oliver pork belly
The only thing of colour in this video is the cucumber
And it's green
That rice has just got fragrant all the way through
I love how you step outside your comfort zone for this recipe
By asking the expert beforehand
They ask the wrong expert
YouTube comment is not expert
They should ask auntie Liz see Hainanese chicken rice recipe rigth here
When you get this recipe from? is it from Youtube comment?
No
Look so nice that have picture in it
So if niece and nephew illiterate, you can still buy this book
But overall, Uncle roger think this video is actually not bad
They got most of things right
It wasn't a bad video, uncle Roger your leg stayed up the entire time
Overall this is good, But I think they could use a corn-fed chicken to get a nice yellow colour on the meat
Yeah, nobody want pale and pasty chicken
And I think that after the ice bath, you make sure he seasoned the ice bath
And you hang the chicken to let it rest
Niece and nephew uncle Roger and auntie Liz actually came to sortedfood studio
to review their cooking live
So check out the link to the video in the description below
I won't use onions also that I would use shallots
I think only poor people use onions
Yeah only poor..
Maybe you should do that, it sounds so mean from me
You're the mean one,I'm not, I want people come back to my restaurant
It's look like Darth Vader when he takes his mask off at the end of Star Wars
Everytime, they only come when I'm recording
uncle roger do you like pounding
Only when it comes to Chili Sauce, Haiya so dirty this auntie liz
Sorry!
No uncle uncle roger don't like pounding uncle
Uncle roger so poor, can't even afford two headphone for both of us
So we have to share one
What's the point of having so many kitchen utensil if you can't use any to hit your child
You hit your husband instead
Auntie Liz so dirty
Don't include this
I know you're going to
They both look like they don't have girlfriend
You're gonna do filming with them
It's alright, they won't see the video until we have filmed
Too late
Yeah we are actually filming something with these people tomorrow
and we told them we were going to review that video first
But they don't know exactly know what we gonna say
Explain to uncle Rodger how pounding work
