SARAWAK SALAD CHICKEN RICE

 

Salad chicken rice is merely a fried chicken rice top with salad dressing and is therefore simply called salad chicken rice.Normally served together with sweet cabbages or salad leaves,cucumbers,baked beans and adding or squishing salad dressing on to it as well as condiment like tomato or chilly sauce.Some people do not like baked beans,so leave it out.I use thousand island dressing ,but some people may use mayonnaise instead.Adjust to your taste.
