Ji Rou Fan (雞肉飯/鸡肉饭) Shredded Turkey/Chicken On Rice

 

Jī Ròu Fàn
Ji Rou Fan (雞肉飯/鸡肉饭) Shredded Turkey/Chicken On Rice




Ji rou fan (雞肉飯/鸡肉饭) (pinyin with tone marks: jī ròu fàn) is as popular as lu rou fan (滷肉飯, braised pork on rice) but is made by chicken and contains less fat. Some diners use turkey instead of chicken, so it is also named huo ji rou fan (火雞肉飯) in some places. If speaking of khong rou fan(炕肉飯, braised sliced pork belly on rice) we will think of Changhua (彰化), then people will associate (huo) ji rou fan with Chiayi (嘉義).


Huo Ji Rou Fan (火雞肉飯) In Chiayi (嘉義)

Huo ji rou fan (火雞肉飯) (pinyin with tones: huǒ jī ròu fàn) is created in Chiayi and is usually served with shredded chicken, fried red onion/shallot (紅蔥頭), a piece of yellow pickle, and basted with some chicken oil. Like khong rou fàn in Changhua, you can find huo ji rou fan at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night supper time in Chiayi. People always order some side dishes together with huo ji rou fan just like how we have lu rou fan. If you feel lu rou fan is too greasy for you, huo ji rou fan is a good substitute for you.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
