8分鐘教您整海南雞飯汁 | 英國用咩食材替代 | 異地食材 煮出家鄉味道


Thai chicken rice is never just about the chicken and rice.

It's all about Thai Chicken Rice Sauce Recipe

What truly defines it is the sauce — Nam Jim Khao Man Gai (น้ำจิ้มข้าวมันไก่) — a small bowl of bold, layered flavours that brings everything to life.

Rooted in Hainanese cuisine but shaped by Thai tastes, this sauce carries both familiarity and contrast. It has the depth of fermented soybean paste, the warmth of ginger and garlic, and a bright lift from chilli and acidity.

In this version, I share how I make it at home — adapting to ingredients available in the UK, while keeping the spirit of the original intact.


🇹🇭 泰式海南雞飯的醬汁

泰式海南雞飯,對我來說,從來都不只是雞和飯。

真正令人上癮的,其實是旁邊那一小碗醬。

第一次在泰國吃到的時候,就覺得很有趣——
明明是來自海南的菜式,但在泰國,味道已經完全變成另一種風格。

Thai Chicken Rice Sauce

有別於新加坡或馬來西亞版本,泰式海南雞飯的醬汁,
其實是很「中式底」的。

豆醬、薑、蒜,這些都是很熟悉的味道。
但當中又會混入辣椒、青檸,甚至一些在地香料,
慢慢就變成了今天我們熟悉的那種——
清爽、帶點辣、又有層次的泰式風味。


Soybean Paste 豆醬

豆醬,是這個醬汁的靈魂。

不過老實說,現在要找到一款真正好味的豆醬,其實不容易。
所以在家裡做的時候,我反而會靈活一點,
用中式麵豉醬,甚至日本味噌來代替。

味道當然會有些微不同,
但只要整體平衡得好,其實一樣可以很好吃。

中式麵豉醬 Soybean Paste
Miso 日本味噌

至於薑的部分,我自己會玩得再多一點。

除了基本的薑之外,
泰國版本很多時都會用到南薑——
那種帶點清香、微微柑橘感的氣味,很有泰國感。

但我個人,其實更喜歡加入手指薑。

那種味道,比南薑再溫柔一點,
有一種很家常、很舒服的香氣。

有時候,其實也沒有一定要「正宗」,
反而是找到一個自己最喜歡的味道。


甜味方面,我會用庶糖或者椰糖。

比起白糖,它們的味道會更圓潤一點,
不會只是單純的甜,而是多了一點深度。


而這個醬,最不能少的,其實是「酸」。

在泰國,有些做法會用醃蕎頭的醋汁,
那種酸味是帶點發酵感的,很有特色。

White Wine Vinegar 白酒醋

在英國,我反而很常用白酒醋,
乾淨、清爽,而且很容易取得。
有時也會用青檸或檸檬,感覺會再輕盈一點。


很多人會問,既然是泰菜,
那可不可以加羅望子?

這次我沒有用。

因為在我心目中,這個醬還是比較偏中式。
羅望子那種味道,會比較適合用在冬蔭湯、青木瓜沙律這一類菜式。

一旦加進來,整個方向就會變了。


Chicken Stock 雞湯

最後,有一樣我覺得非常重要,
但很多人都會忽略的——就是雞湯。

一定要加一點點煮雞的湯進去。

這一步,會令整個醬汁突然變得很圓潤,
所有味道好像融合在一起,不再是分開的。

也是這一點點差別,
會讓一碗普通的雞飯,變成真的好吃。


每一個家庭,其實都有自己的版本。

有些偏辣,有些偏甜,有些會多一點蒜,
也沒有一個「唯一正確」的做法。

對我來說,這個醬,
不只是調味料,
而是一種很日常、很貼近生活的味道。

即使身在英國,
用著不同的材料,
還是可以慢慢調出一種屬於自己的「家鄉味」。

Notes

Yves Tips~ 
  • 不要打得太滑,保留少少顆粒感更有泰國風味 | Do not blend too smooth, a slightly coarse texture gives a more authentic Thai feel
  • 雞湯是關鍵,能令整個醬汁更圓潤 | Chicken stock is key to a more rounded flavour
  • 酸味可按喜好調整,青檸或白酒醋都適合 | Adjust acidity to taste, lime juice or white wine vinegar both work well

How to pick a fresh lemongrass? #thaifoodlover #ed How to pick a fresh lemongrass? #thaifoodlover #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfoodbloggers #Thailand 🇹🇭
Years ago, I joined a local government project in Years ago, I joined a local government project in Sukhothai to learn about traditional fishing practices preserved by the riverside communities.

Recently revisited these old clips I filmed on a phone — quiet moments of local wisdom and a way of life slowly disappearing. 🤍

——

多年前,曾參與素可泰地方政府的一個文化項目,探訪及了解當地村民保留下來的古法漁業。

最近重新整理當年用手機拍下的片段,記錄了一種正在慢慢消失的生活智慧。🤍

10+ years ago, I spent some time living in the cou 10+ years ago, I spent some time living in the countryside of Thailand while working on a cookbook. Back then, phones had only just started recording videos, and my Thai cousin helped me capture so many precious moments — though I never really knew how to edit videos at the time 🥲

Some of the footage was later used by TV stations and media, but there are still many rare clips left unseen. So many of the people, places, and traditions in them no longer exist today.

Now, with today’s tools, I can finally revisit and edit these memories myself.
I’ll slowly share them with you, one by one.

This time: our Lao’s dinner and traditional minced pork salad.

In loving memory of my Uncle Wood 🤍
Thai Pandan Chicken 💚 One of those simple dishes Thai Pandan Chicken 💚

One of those simple dishes that instantly feels like home.

Chicken marinated with garlic, coriander roots, white pepper and fish sauce,
then wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves before frying.

As the leaves toast in the heat,
the whole kitchen fills with that unmistakable Thai aroma.

A little taste of home,
made from my kitchen in Scotland. ✨

Served simply with sweet chilli sauce and cucumber.

泰式香葉包雞
不是泰國大菜,卻是很多人由細食到大的味道。💚

蒜頭、芫荽根、白胡椒、魚露,
再用香葉慢慢包起來。

炸的時候,香葉的香氣會慢慢走出來,
每次打開,都有種回到泰國屋企食飯的感覺。

在蘇格蘭的廚房,
用這些熟悉的味道,煮一點家鄉。

配甜辣醬、青瓜,已經好滿足。✨
