Recipe: Claypot Rice

Seriously, if you guys are looking for professional recipes here, I have to admit, I'm not up to that kind of standard yet. What I try to do here is come up with very easy things to cook, so that despite our busy schedules, we can always have a taste of home-cooked food. Not to mention, quickly cooked food as well. So here goes my claypot rice:

Ingredient:

• Meat (chicken or pork, some people like pork belly, of course health wise, you guys should know which to choose)
• 6 shitake mushrooms (soak in hot water for 30 minutes and cut into halves)
• Cabbage
• 1 stalk scallion (chopped) - optional (for garnishing)
• 2 Chinese sausage (sliced) - optional

Instructions:

1. Cut the cabbage into pieces or strips, depending on preference
2. Cut the mushroom
3. Cut the meat and season it with pepper, light soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce
4. After washing the rice, with the correct amount of water in it, add in 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark sauce, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and half a teaspoon of salt.
5. Put the rice into rice cooker to cook
6. At the same time, heat up the wok with a little oil and fry the meat and shitake mushrooms.
7. Add in the cabbage and continue to stir fry
8. Quickly stir-fry the chicken until half-cooked
9. Add the chicken and mushrooms into the rice cooker when the rice is almost dry and continue to cook till rice is completely cooked.
10. After the rice is cooked, keep warm for 15 mins before serving.

and yes, we used the rice cooker to cook this claypot rice, for convenient purpose. If you prefer claypot version, simply transfer your rice into the claypot and continue cooking it over low heat. Must be low heat to prevent overcooking. and if u used scallion, simply slice it and throw into the rice when it's cooked. letting the scallion stay in the rice while it's being warmed.

and if u choose to cook with chinese sausage, cook it at the same time with the meat.

quite easy right?
