THE BEST CLAY POT CHICKEN RICE (鸡肉煲仔饭)
This clay pot chicken rice is so addictive! After I developed this recipe, I was so hooked and couldn't help but cook this dish every week. Beyond the greatness of the tender and moist chicken, the rice absorbs all the extract from the mushrooms and chicken grease, and is then seasoned with oyster sauce. It is SO good! My recipe teaches you the easiest way to create a super flavorful one-dish meal without a clay pot or rice cooker.

Steps:
- Rinse rice a few times and drain. Add water and mix. Let the rice soak for 30 minutes.
- Rinse shiitake mushrooms. Place dried shiitake mushrooms in a medium sized bowl and add warm water to cover. Mix a few times so that the mushrooms are coated with water. Set aside and allow to rehydrate for about 20 minutes. (Slice fresh mushroom if you use it instead.)
- Combine chicken, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ginger, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Blend in cornstarch and mix well by hand until chicken is evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature.
- When the shiitake mushrooms turn soft, carefully rinse mushrooms to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside.
- Drain rice and add into a medium sized dutch oven (or clay pot). Add 350 milliliters water. Add Heat over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and mix well. Bring to a boil while stirring regularly, just like cooking risotto. Turn to medium heat. Continue to cook and stir, until the water is almost absorbed by the rice, about 5 minutes. Cover and simmer over lowest heat for 10 minutes.
- While simmering the rice, cook the chicken and mushrooms. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil into a nonstick skillet over medium high heat until warm. Add chicken and let it cook for 1 minute without stirring. Place the chicken so that you cook the skin side first, until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, and the chicken is half cooked through. Turn to lowest heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- (Optional) Use a spoon to transfer the extra oil to a small bowl, until just a thin layer of oil remains in the skillet. If you use skinless chicken, skip this step.
- Turn back to medium high heat and add shiitake mushrooms. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- When the rice is ready (the water should be fully absorbed by now), arrange chicken, mushrooms, and Chinese broccoli on top of the rice. Cover and continue to simmer for 18-20 minutes (the longer you simmer, the more crispy the rice on the bottom will be). Be careful - you should move as quickly as you can, so the temperature of the rice won't drop too much.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the oyster sauce with the sugar and garlic in a small bowl.
- When the rice is done, remove from heat and uncover. Drizzle oyster sauce on top immediately, while the rice is hot, and mix everything well with a spatula. I suggest you scrape the rice from the bottom while the pot is still warm. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to scoop out.
- Serve hot as a main dish/

CLAY POT RICE WITH CHICKEN
The name says it all ... rice cooked in a claypot, with chicken and/or other meats. The claypot gives the rice a slightly burnt flavour which makes it oh so yummy! This is a popular dish at the hawker stands in Singapore and Malaysia, although it is more commonly made at home.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Use a medium-grain rice like jasmine or Calrose rice. These types of rice are known for their fluffy texture and ability to absorb flavors.
- Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove the starch and results in fluffier rice.
- Use a clay pot: A clay pot is the traditional vessel for cooking clay pot rice. It helps to distribute heat evenly and create a crispy layer of rice at the bottom of the pot.
- Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use will depend on the type of rice you are using. As a general rule, use 1 ½ cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Don't stir the rice: Stirring the rice while it is cooking can break the grains and make the rice mushy. Instead, let the rice cook undisturbed.
- Use high heat initially: Bring the water and rice to a boil over high heat. This will help to create a crispy layer of rice at the bottom of the pot.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer: Once the water has boiled, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Let the rice rest: After the rice is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
Conclusion:
Clay pot rice with chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make perfect clay pot rice every time.
