Chicken Rice Paste Overview
Chicken rice is a highly popular dish in Malaysia and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries, and is widely available across the nation, from street food vendors to upscale restaurants. It is considered to be one of Malaysia’s top crowd-pleaser dishes with many variations to its name. The Chinese population in Malaysia has two distinct variations of the dish - Cantonese and Hainanese. Cantonese influences have been incorporated into Hainanese chicken rice, including the preparation method and type of chicken used. The occasional use of extras like Galanggal or tamarind during the rice cooking process further enhances the aroma of the dish whilst elevating it.
In today’s day and age where everyone is bent on the hustle culture o working around the clock, it might not be very feasible to make chicken rice from scratch no matter how much we crave it. To address this shortcoming and to provide a viable solution as well, KI.TA’s line of cooking pastes and sauces has been introduced in order to tackle this very issue of time constraint at its root. Now with the chicken rice paste from the brand, anyone can truly cook like a chef with nothing more than a few minutes to spare, and familiar, household ingredients to add.
