Singapore – Hainanese Chicken Rice

@rafflesplays.sg

It didn’t start here, but it became Singapore’s icon 🍚🐓 Hainanese chicken rice came from Wenchang, China… but our version is uniquely Singaporean. Fragrant rice cooked in chicken stock, fiery chilli, and a taste that’s pure heritage. #HainaneseChickenRice #SingaporeFood #HawkerCulture #FoodHistory #HeritageFood #SGFoodie

Malaysia – Nasi Lemak

@xiensscran

Nasi lemak! My favourite Malaysian meal, always. Fragrant coconut rice cooked with pandan, crispy anchovies, peanuts, egg, cucumber and golden fried chicken. Honestly one of the best comfort meals – and perfect for iftar during ramadan. Save this if you want to try making nasi lemak at home and selamat ramadan to everyone observing <3 🌙 Serves 3 
For the nasi (rice): 1 banana shallot 1/2 bulb of garlic cloves 1 lemongrass 230g jasmine rice 400ml coconut milk 1 tsp salt 1 pandan leaf For the rempah (spice paste):
8 chicken drumsticks 1 bulb of garlic 2 banana shallots
20g ginger 2 lemongrass stalks
1 tbsp salt 1/2 tsp MSG 1/2 tsp white pepper 1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp curry powder 2 tsp chilli powder
For the milk mix: 1 pint of milk
4 tbsp rice flour 8 tbsp self raising flour For the flour mix: 20g rice flour
40g self raising flour 120g potato starch 60g peanuts 60g dried anchovies 6 tbsp sambal @mamayuchillioil 3 eggs 1/2 cucumber 6 pieces of fried chicken (ayam goreng)
1L vegetable oil, for deep frying Using a sharp knife, make 2–3 shallow slits on each piece of chicken, focusing on the thicker parts to help the marinade penetrate and ensure even cooking. Add the chicken to a large bowl, pour in the milk and leave to soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help tenderise the meat. Meanwhile, for the rice, halve the shallot and lemongrass, smash the garlic and add them to a wok with 3 tbsp of vegetable oil. Stir-fry for 2 minutes on medium-low heat until fragrant, then set aside. Wash the rice three times until the water runs clear, then add it to a pot with coconut milk, salt and the fried shallot, garlic and lemongrass. Stir, then tie the pandan leaf into a knot and add it to the rice. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. For the spice paste, roughly chop the aromatics and blend the garlic, shallot, ginger and lemongrass in a food processor. Set aside for later. Stir-fry the peanuts with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil until crispy, then set aside. Fry the anchovies until crispy and set aside. Boil the eggs to your liking (I usually boil them for 10 minutes for nasi lemak) and slice the cucumber into ½ cm thick slices. Remove the chicken from the milk (save the milk for later), allowing any excess to drip off. Add the blended paste and remaining seasonings, mix well and set aside. Prepare the milk mixture and flour mixture in two separate bowls. Dredge the chicken in the milk mixture, then into the flour mixture, and repeat for the remaining drumsticks. In a large wok, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of flour mixture – it should sizzle and float to the top. You can also place chopsticks into the oil – if bubbles form around them, the oil is hot enough. Fry the chicken on medium-high heat for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, then on medium-low heat for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding until the chicken is crispy, golden and cooked through. Remove the fried chicken and place it on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve the nasi lemak (coconut rice) with fried chicken, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber slices, a boiled egg and sambal.

India – Khichdi 

@foodylens

Khichdi 🌾 🌾 Khichidi is often considered to be India’s national dish as it is widely enjoyed throughout the different states within India, and made in so many different unique ways. It varies from consistency, ingredients and in how it can be enjoyed. 🌾 For me growing up Khichidi would remind me of when I was sick, as it’s often given as a healing remedy due to its simplistic nature. 🌾 This recipe is buttery, rich and moorish. Definitely something to try and I would describe it as a hug and a bowl. Ingredients: 1 cup washed red lentils 1/4 cup basmati rice 1 tbsp chopped ginger 5-6 cloves diced garlic 1 diced onion 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder 2 tsp dried fenugreek 5-6 dried curry leaves 3 sliced green chillis 2 dried red chillis 800ml water Salt to taste Method: 🌾 Begin by cooking the soaked dal in water, some salt and the ginger. 🌾After 15 minutes add the rice, turmeric powder, coriander powder and allow to cook with the lid on for 25 minutes. 🌾 Next create your tadka by sautéing the garlic, cumin, mustard seeds, onions, green chilli, red chilli, fenugreek leaves, curry leaves and red chilli powder. 🌾Add the tadka into the pot with the khichidi and and add spoon of ghee/ butter. Allow the flavours to mingle for another 10 minutes before serving. I love khichidi with some achaar for an extra kick. #nationaldish #indiancooking #buttery #garlic #tadka #whattomake #indianfood #rice #chilli #dinnerinspiration #food

  1. the girl who doesn't know Borat and doesn't know the word plowing…. how old is she 😂 bc she needs to get out more lol

  2. Whichever chef put that ginger scallion directly on the chicken should be fired

  3. Hiiii People VS Food, I love your channel so much, I watch your videos like almost every day, there are so many foods I want to try from there, I love you all so much, this is one of my favorite channels to watch, and keep up the great work!! 👍❤❤❤

  4. I’m from Taiwan ~ even tho I can’t eat beef
    but thanks for presenting one of our iconic dish
    Hope future episode can have teens / americans
    try Taiwanese food or maybe others related🇹🇼

  5. When eating Khichdi you should have something crunchy with it , like different types of pakoras or atleast papad , so its balances it out the mushiness

  6. Izzy talks a lot about being filipina, but she showed her pakistani side on this episode haha

  7. I think burgers, pizzas, and hotdogs would qualify for the US though the Germans might lay claim to sausages and the Italians might have something to say about pizza 😄

  8. Is it me or does Nicole remind people a little bit of Rosamund Pike? Like a young/younger Pike?

  9. The funny thing is that some of the most famous Japanese signature dishes are things like curry rice and ramen which they obviously got from other countries, but they just made their own. In a funny way, kinda like the US. I do wish they made it a katsu (breaded pork cutlet) curry, though.

  10. Today, we are here to observe the Nick in his natural, caveman habitat 18:29 🤣❤
    (edit: lol, the face Ashley made when she saw Nick)

  11. Ashley totally clueless about Sacha Baron Cohen, but hey, we all have blind spots and Ashley may not be old enough when SBC made his name as Ali G, Borat, etc. Happens.

  12. For India the cuisine is actually not that common in the NorthEastern Part of India however the popular dishes in the NorthEastern is similar to the Thai,Singapore,Indo etc….

  13. Top 3 food are basically Chinese food or influenced by it.

    Indian should be briyani or butter chicken.

  14. It’s crazy to know that one country’s cuisine (India) became the national food of 2 other completely different countries.

  15. I don't think I've ever seen beni shoga used on curry rice over fukujinzuke, whether in the States or in Japan. I usually see beni shoga for beef or pork rice bowls.

  16. Honorary mention: Cambodia 🇰🇭 would love to see you guys try our food sometime ❤
