Home Cooked Claypot Chicken Rice is one very commonly found comfort food for many inlucing Ah Pa. At the restaurant or stalls, the chefs will cook the rice and meat all inside the same claypot from scratched. This method can be very challenging for many home cooks, as either the rice is cooked, but the chicken is not yet fully cooked, or the rice is burnt when the chicken is fully cooked. Therefore, Ah Pa always cook the rice and chicken separately, then combine them together in a pot after that. If you wanted some charred rice at the bottom, you can still achieve that by heating up the pot for few more minutes on stove.
Ingredients:
2 cups of rice (water ratio is
1:1.1)
2 chicken thighs
1 shiitake mushroom (soaked and sliced)
1 Chinese sausage, lap cheong (thinly sliced diagonally and pan-fry in advance)
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
1 tablespoon of chopped ginger
Some vegetables
Marinade for Chicken and Mushroom:
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
Few drops of sesame oil
Few dashes of white pepper
1 round of light soya sauce
½ cap of shaoxing cooking wine
Seasoning:
1 cap of Shaoxing cooking wine
1 round of dark soya sauce (for colours)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
