This is a versatile entrée that can stand alone for a family meal or can be served alongside other party dishes for a big event. Some versions I have shared on the blog are stir fried with chicken and pork slices. This one I made for my son has vegetables and seafood in tamari sauce and a low sodium soy sauce, which were his preference]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pancit-canton-chinese-noodles-stir-fried-with-shrimps-and-vegetables/feed/ 0 4977 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-hainanese-chicken-with-chicken-rice-a-singapore-style-recipe/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-hainanese-chicken-with-chicken-rice-a-singapore-style-recipe/#comments Sun, 14 Dec 2014 05:00:40 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4806 Hainanese Chicken Rice, Singapore-style is a light, refreshing way to serve an entree. Try this for a holiday party to balance the heavy richness of other dishes. Or enjoy it as an everyday dish. The chicken is simply poached in the boiling water flavored with ginger and scallions.

It's a fast and easy recipe. I used lo mein noodles and slices of fresh, chilled vegetables. I even had char-grilled ribs to go on top of the salad, and served this with sides of corn on the cob.
