Steamed Chicken or Roasted Chicken? Pick your side! This debate might cause an uproar in Singapore. I mean…my personal favourite is roasted chicken :) Please don’t come after me steamed chicken lovers. By the way, can you name anyone who doesn’t love chicken rice? What about Nasi Lemak? Tell me someone who doesn’t love both dishes! What if I told you that you could crunch and taste Nasi Lemak with every bite of chicken rice. SPICE IT UP! Add in a few of The Kettle Gourmet’s Nasi Lemak Flavoured Popcorn to your chicken rice!

What you will need:

• Hainanese Chicken
• 3 lb whole chicken (1.3 kg), giblets removed
• ¼ cup kosher salt (60 g), divided
• 4 inch pieces fresh ginger, peeled and cut into ¼-inch (6 mm) slices
• 1 bunch fresh scallion
• 1 gal cold water (3.7 L), plus more as needed
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• The Kettle Gourmet’s Nasi Lemak Popcorn

Hainanese Rice

• ¼ cup sesame oil(60 mL)
• 2 tablespoons chicken fat, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups long grain rice(400 g), rinsed and drained
• 2 cups reserved chicken poaching broth(480 mL)

Chilli Sauce

• 2 tablespoons sambal
• 2 tablespoons sriracha
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons reserved chicken poaching broth

Ginger Garlic Sauce

• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp garlic, finely minced
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 3 tbsp peanut oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Soy Dipping Sauce

• reserved fried garlic and ginger
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 3 tbsp dark sweet soy sauce
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp reserved chicken poaching broth
• 2 cucumbers, thinly sliced, for serving
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, for serving

What to do:

1. To clean the chicken, rub all over with a handful of kosher salt, getting rid of any loose skin. Rinse the chicken well inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Remove any excess fat from the chicken and set aside for later.
3. Season the chicken generously with salt. Stuff the chicken cavity with the ginger slices and scallions.
4. Place the chicken in a large stock pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch (2 cm), and season with salt to taste.
5. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the pot from the heat.
6. Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving the poaching liquid for later, and transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and to keep the chicken skin springy. Discard the ginger and green onion.
7. After it’s cooled, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub all over with sesame oil. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
8. In a large wok or skillet, heat ¼ cup (60 ml) of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved chopped chicken fat, the garlic, ginger, and salt, and fry until aromatic, about 10 minutes.
9. Reserve ¼ of the fried garlic mixture, then add the rice to the remaining fried garlic and stir to coat. Cook for 3 minutes.
10. Transfer the rice to a rice cooker and add 2 cups (480 ml) of reserved poaching broth. Steam the rice for 60 minutes, or until tender.
11. While the rice is cooking, carve the chicken for serving.
12. Make the chili sauce: combine the sambal, Sriracha, sugar, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and chicken broth in a small bowl and stir to incorporate.
13. Make the ginger garlic sauce: in a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, salt, peanut oil, and rice vinegar, and stir to incorporate.
14. Make the soy sauce: in a small bowl, combine the reserved fried garlic and ginger with the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and chicken broth, and stir to incorporate.
15. Serve the sliced chicken with the rice, dipping sauces, sliced cucumbers, fresh cilantro and sprinkle on some The Kettle Gourmet’s Nasi Lemak Popcorn.
16. Enjoy!

Salted Caramel Popcorn with Rojak

Source: Asian Food Network

Rojak, a salad dish with Javanese origins, rapidly gained popularity in Singapore since the first store opened in Toa Payoh in 1970 by Mr Cheng Kong Sang. The rojak consisted of local mixed vegetables, fruits and dough fritters which reflected the cultural diversity of Singapore, harmoniously blending the unique flavours together. The classic rojak is generously coated with its sauce, fermented prawn paste, sugar, lime and chilli paste offering a mix of sweet, sour and spicy together. 

Throw in a handful of Salted Caramel Popcorn from The Kettle Gourmet, the savoury and sweetness would perfectly compliment the dish. Adding popular snacks such as flavoured popcorn would still keep the dish true to its origins since it was made by different cultural foods. However, if you prefer other salted popcorn flavours, you may check out other flavoured popcorn at The Kettle Gourmet. Such as Nasi Lemak Popcorn, Fish Head Curry Popcorn, Chilli Crab Popcorn and Chicken Floss Popcorn.

What you will need:

• 150 g local turnip (jicama or mang kuang)

• 1 tbsp torch ginger bud - rojak flower (finely minced)
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp chilli powder (or to taste)
• ½ cup toasted peanuts (80 g) coarsely grounded

Chocolate Popcorn Teh Tarik

Source: Wander Cooks

Sometimes don't you just reminisce about the times when you went to the Kopitiam and there’s always this iconic uncle pulling and pouring drinks. Don’t lie! You definitely thought it was cool and wanted to try. And for sure, we all loved pouring soap mixtures from one container to another as a kid. Being the little scientist at home all we wanted was to play with liquid.

This is the time to put your pouring skills to the test! This Southeast Asian sweet drink, locally known as teh tarik or “pulled tea”, is a challenge and blast to make. Teh Tarik (aka “pulled tea” in Malay) is a strong, hot tea mixed with sweet and creamy condensed milk that’s repeatedly poured (‘pulled’) between two cups or mugs until it transforms into rich, frothy tea heaven. 

But…here's a twist! Sweet and bitter Teh Tarik could just be sweeter for you sweet tooths! Simply top up your Teh Tarik with one of the popular snacks Singapore offers. And.. that is… The Kettle Gourmet’s Chocolate Popcorn. Trust me! There’s no way Chocolate Popcorn can go wrong! Top it up with smooth, scrumptious, popping goodness the way you love it! 

What you will need:

• Tea (Regular Black Tea)
• Condensed milk
• Water 
• The Kettle Gourmet’s Chocolate Popcorn

What to do:

1. Place teabags or loose tea in a strainer in a mug and pour over boiling water. Steep for a few minutes until tea is dark and intense, then allow to cool for a few more minutes. Strain through a cloth if necessary.
2. Add 2 tbsp condensed milk and stir until spoon is clean.
3. Pour the tea into a stainless steel jug, then pour into a mug or tea glass. 
4. Carefully increase the height as you pour the tea between the two jugs. This will help your aim get better as you go, but also help the tea become more and more frothy. Try to gain as much height as possible while pouring. 
5. Repeat until tea is frothy.
6. Serve hot or over plenty of ice for a chilled summer drink.
7. Top with The Kettle Gourmet’s Chocolate Popcorn and serve!

Pulut Hitam Popcorn Soya Beancurd

A stands for auntie, B stands for beancurd. Nothing spells Singaporean more than combining 2 of Singapore’s iconic traditional desserts - Pulut Hitam and Soya Beancurd.

4. Leave to sit for 50mins. Top with The Kettle Gourmet’s Pulut Hitam Popcorn and serve with syrup.
