Braised Chicken Rice in Sesame Seed Oil

I love One-Pot dish not only they are convenient and easy to prepare but full of flavors.

This is another one-pot dish that I often cook as the ingredients can be easily purchased. In fact I have most of them stuffed in my freezer! How convenient is that right? :)

Ingredients

  • 3 Chicken drumsticks (cut into about 4 pieces each)

  • 2 cups rice (wash and sieve dry)

  • 6-8 Dried mushrooms (soaked and sliced)

  • 1 Chinese pork sausage (Lap cheong)

  • 1/2 bulb Garlic (minced)

  • 1" Old ginger (sliced)

  • 2tbsp Sesame seed oil (1tbsp to marinate and 1tsp for frying)

  • Dark soy sauce

  • Light soy sauce

  • Fish sauce

  • Pepper to taste (optional)

Methods

  1. After cutting chicken, prop them into a deep bowl and marinade with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, pepper and sesame seed oil.

  2. Heat up wok with some oil + sesame seed oil, saute the ginger till brownish then add in the minced garlic and saute till fragrant. Toss in the rice, stir and add in the chicken pieces (together with the sauce) and continue to stir till all well mixed.

  3. Add in the mushroom pieces and Chinese sausage slices and mix well. Lift them up and put into rice cooker, add sufficient water (cover all the rice mixture) and cook like normal.

  4. Alternatively, you can put into the steamer and steam till the rice cooked.

  3. Carrie,
    You can put around 2tbsp for both light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Just make sure they cover all the meat when you marinade but not till like flood the whole bowl... :P
