"Nong’s Khao Man Gai should be a totally boring health food: Poached chicken and rice? Pass. But the tender poach on the chicken, the aromatic notes of Thai herbs permeating the meat and accompanying broth, and the flavor-packed ginger sauce make this one of Portland’s essential dishes, healthy or not. Those avoiding carbs can get a paleo version of the dish, which swaps the rice for steamed vegetables, or just add a side of vegetables to get some more green on the plate." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
