4 cups of rice 😇😇😇… it’s too much . I shouldn’t have trust
not successful !!!pressure was never able to build up and it keep showing burn…..
Okay honest review here: this recipe is pretty bad. Chicken is quite overcooked, rice is done nicely, but lacks the punch that most other recipes have (needs more oil, friend ginger). 4 cups of rice is way way way too much for that much chicken – I'd recommend only one or two. The sauce is very…lacking. I'd recommend a simple blend of garlic, ginger, chili, sugar, salt, and lime instead.
Overall, it's a really simple recipe to feed your family, but I think it's a far far cry away from being Hainanese Chicken rice
Is it longer if I use larger pieces of chicken ? 6 mins seem very short
Delicious eateeeeee cheers!
I burned my rice also
Try the ratio of 1:1, 1 cup rinsed rice and add water to the 1-cup marker in the pot inner wall. Cook in manual 4 mins high pressure (default). After 4 mins is up, wait for another 10 mins bf manually release pressure. Hope this helps.
I burned my rice 😩😑
I tried putting it in for 6 minutes, but the chicken still came out a bit undercooked and the rice was pretty soft. Not sure if anyone else had the same problem?
I used my Pyrex to measure the water and my rice came out mushy, like risotto 🙁
What kind of rice did u use?
i will try this
this looks soooooo good! my parents gave me their instant pot recently and i haven't used it yet, but I'm definitely gonna make this tomorrow. thanks for the recipe!!
You should clarify what cup size you are using. Seems like you are using the cups that came with the instant pot which is not actually a full cup.
Would it make a big difference if i used chicken broth instead of water? Thanks
Looking delicious.
