Claypot Chicken Rice


This is one of those effortless one-pot meals where everything is thrown and cook together. Really delicious and full of flavour.

Ingredients:
2 cups rice
2 cups water
3-4 chicken drumsticks
5 dried mushrooms
2 dried Chinese sausages (Optional)
2 stalks mustard green
1 small salted fish

Marinate for Chicken:
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tbsp ginger juice
1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
A dash of white pepper
1 tsp cornflour

Directions:
  1. Soak mushrooms in warm water till softened.  Cut the stalks, drain & squeeze dry.
  2. Wash sausages & cut each into 6-8 pieces.  Wash vegetables & cut into pieces
  3. Fry salted fish in a little oil till crispy & crumble into small pieces.
  4. Wash & cut chicken drumsticks into bite size.  Mix with marinade & salted fish & set aside for 30 minutes.
  5. Wash rice, drain & put into the claypot with water & 1 tbsp Maggi concentrated chicken stock.  Bring to the boil over high heat.  When steam holes appear from the claypot, add the chicken, mushrooms & sausages.
  6. Cover claypot & continue to cook over low heat for another 15-20 minutes till chicken is cooked.
  7. Add vegetables on top, cover & cook for further 5 minutes.  Remove from heat & let stand for 10 minutes.
