Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hainanese chicken rice?
Hainanese chicken rice is a Singaporean classic featuring poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken stock and flavoured with ginger and pandan. It's simple yet flavourful, often accompanied by cucumber, garlic-chilli sauce, and dark soy. Asian Home Gourmet's paste makes it easy to achieve at home.
How do I use the Asian Home Gourmet Hainanese Chicken Rice Paste?
Sauté the paste with rice in a pot, add water or chicken stock, then simmer until fluffy. Poach chicken separately in boiling water with ginger and salt. Serve together with sliced cucumber and sauces. Follow the pack instructions for perfect results every time.
Is this paste suitable for vegetarians?
No, the Hainanese Chicken Rice Paste contains ingredients derived from chicken stock and is designed for meat-based recipes. For vegetarian options, explore our other Asian spice pastes or adapt with vegetable stock.
How should I store the paste?
Keep unopened packs in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within 7 days. The case of 12 is great for pantries but check expiry dates.
Can I buy in bulk?
Yes, grab a case of 12 for 50g pastes at a great value, ideal for frequent cooks or sharing with friends who love Asian flavours.
