A Vietnam local tour to Hoi An can help you to know the basic steps to make a good dish of chicken rice. Chickens are cleaned and boiled in a certain period of time to not be too soft of too tough. After the chicken has been cooked in water, it is taken out, let it cool down and then, bones are removed. Continue to boil the bones part so that the water is sweet and smells good. For the rice, soak it in the water with turmeric for a certain time before washing it clean and cooking in the broth water which contains chicken fats. When it boils, the fats smell down and they are absorbed into the rice so that its smell is even better. The current owner of the eating house, Mrs. Hanh said. Either visiting Hoi An with family or in a private tour of Vietnam, knowing this is also an interesting experience for any tourist.
When there are visitors to the eating house, the owner will take out the rice, add chicken and herbs neatly on the dish. Next, she pours some scoops of broth on the surface of the rice so that the dish become even more attractive. There are catchy colors on it including green, yellow, white, etc. That’s really nice!
