claypot chicken rice

I grew up eating this dish, but of course my mom's much better than mine. :) You don't need a clay pot, just a rice cooker will do!

Ingredients: 

1 Chicken breast

3 Taiwanese (or any) Chinese Sausage- sliced

4 Shiitake (sliced)

[A]

2 TBS Dark soy sauce

2 TBS Oyster sauce

2 TBS Sugar

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

2 Cups rice 

Green onion - for garnish

Prep:

1. Cut chicken in bite-size, marinade with [A]. Leave it for 30min - 1 hour.

2. Cut Chinese sausage into slices.

3. Soak dry shiitake in warm water until soften.

4. Chopped green onion 

Cook:

1. Fry chicken for 3 min, turn them half way. 

2. Add sausage & shiitake, cook for another 5 min.

3. If it looks too dry, add oyster sauce & a bit of water. 

4. Wash rice. Follow directions on the rice cooker and add water for 2 cups of rice.

5. Add chicken mixture to the rice, mix around and cook the rice as usual. 

6. Sprinkle green onion on cooked rice. 

TIPS

• I love Taiwanese sausage. It's sweeter than other Chinese sausages. 
• Sliced dried shiitakes are usually cheaper than whole dried shiitakes.
