Khao Man Gai
ข้าวมันไก่
Gestoomde kip met rijst gekookt in kippenbouillon en gember-chilisaus
Khao man gai (chicken and rice) is Thailand's version of Hainanese chicken rice — poached chicken served over rice cooked in chicken fat and broth, with a trio of dipping sauces. It's the definition of comfort food: simple, satisfying, and available on practically every street in Thailand for 40-50 baht. The best stalls have been operating for generations, with pots of broth that have been replenished (never fully replaced) for years. The soy-ginger sauce is essential; the chili sauce is for heat; the sweet dark soy is optional. Many Thais consider this their default 'nothing sounds good' meal.
