Ingredients
1 cup Rice (wash and pre-soak for 30 minutes) | |
1 ½ cup Water | |
450g Chicken Thigh (cut into 4-5 pcs) | |
1 tbsp Cornstarch | |
1 tsp Ginger (minced) | |
3 tsp Sesame Oil | |
1 tsp Sugar | |
2 tsp Soy Sauce | |
½ tsp Salt | |
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil | |
3 cloves Garlic (minced) | |
2 inch Ginger (sliced) | |
2 tsp Oyster Sauce | |
30g Shiitake Mushrooms (rehydrated for 20 minutes if they’re dried) | |
2 Bok Choy (roughly chopped) | |
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce | |
1 tsp Sesame Oil |
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with cornstarch, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce and salt for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drain the pre-soaked rice and put it into the clay pot. Add 1 ½ cups of water & cook over medium heat and stir regularly. Continue to cook, until the water is almost absorbed by the rice, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok, then add the garlic and ginger, then fry until fragrant. Add the marinated chicken and oyster sauce and stir. When the meat starts to brown, add the mushrooms, stirring for a minute to mix well.
- When the rice is ready, arrange chicken and mushrooms on top of the rice. Cover and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Finally, add the Bok Choy, cover and keep the heat on low for another 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the dark soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables and serve in the claypot.
- *NB. Use a dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot if you don’t have a claypot. The results will be almost the same, but keep an eye on the fire/heat to avoid burning the rice.
