    Omg thank you! My mom never taught me how to cook all the authentic Thai recipes so when I’m craving something I come here! My mom used to cook this in a rice cooker. I’m sure you could also do it in a slow cooker!

    I don't know why but Vietnamese people originated from China who serve this chicken rice dish tends to give us more chicken than rice! so whenever we go to the restaurant and look at the menu, we are always determined that additional rice will be on the order list

    I made this (not exact to the measurement because I’m lazy) and it was so easy and delicious!!! I skipped the ginger in the rice because I’m not fond of it but it worked just as great ❤️

    Sawadee kha! I'm so glad I found your channel!! you can't imagine how happy I am, I lived in Thailand for a few months and I was the happiest girl in the world there. I really miss this beautiful country so much. Anyway, thank you for sharing your recipe now I can try to cook them and enjoy again these delicious flavorings!

    I'm with you. I'd rather have chicken thighs any day than chicken breast. But I'm willing to try it in this dish! Hope it tastes as good as the thighs-I think I'll do half and half to see. Thanks for another great recipe!

    I've made the traditional recipe before. Will have to try this version!
    The recipe that I learned also had a dipping sauce where hot oil was poured over ginger and chopped green onions. Is that also served in Thailand, or is that more Chinese?

    I tried the one-pot method and the rice didn't stick to the bottom. Unfortunately, the chicken was undercooked, probably because I used a leg+thigh cut which is the only one available where I live. Just a warning if someone else is thinking of modifying the recipe!

    Which dipping sauce is more authentic, the Thai one or the Singaporean ginger scallion oil? I’m Thai but I actually prefer the Singaporean version…

    My favorite Thai dish to eat when I go to Thailand!! I eat it everyday when I'm there because my Thai wife only makes it here once in awhile lol Thank you Pai for the fantastic videos 😊

    I just cooked a Filipino dish that's somewhat similar, called arroz caldo ("rice broth")! I'm lazy and cheap so I skipped some of the more characteristic ingredients (safflower and green onions), but if yours turned out more porridge-like and you added fish sauce and onions with the ginger and garlic, it's loosely the same!

    I love learning about similarities between Asian dishes.

    Can I not put ginger in the rice? I really dont like the taste of ginger. For infusion purpose is ok, not tasting. I often had this in Singapore and I don't remember they put garlic or ginger in rice.
