The three sauces of Singapore chicken rice, chilli, ginger and dark soy, are an essential part of the dish. Hawkers are judged as much by their chilli sauce as by the chicken.
A tangy, garlicky chilli sauce with ginger and lime. The signature dip for Hainanese chicken rice.
Roughly chop the chillies, garlic and ginger.
Blend with the lime juice, stock, sugar and salt to a smooth sauce.
Taste and adjust. It should be bright, sour and fiery.
Serve in a small bowl alongside chicken rice. Keeps for 4 days in the fridge.
A splash of the warm chicken poaching stock gives the sauce its savoury, rounded flavour.
