Remember my miserable lunch bread + peanut butter + pork floss ...I think I got some of you into trouble - you lost your appetite! Now...how about...
Dinner! ...It's oyster sauce-flavored chicken
A countable few slices of abalone
plus mini-shitake mushrooms (added while braising oyster sauce chicken wings)
then cooked (and warmed) just like another dish (the next day)
Rice-cooker meal for the busy executives
In short, I make oyster sauce chicken quite often. Sometimes, I will add shitake mushrooms to this recipe, cook double the quantity and keep the leftovers to be re-heated with rice the next day. This is usually what I do - whenever I steam ginger chicken, braise sesame oil and ginger chicken or chicken with assorted mushrooms. Ahhh...and the miracles of the rice-cooker. If you have followed my blog, you should also have noticed that I seldom do fried rice on a wok/pan. Rice cooker - one of the most basic kitchen appliances - allows me to have "fried" rice the easy peasy way. These Tom Yum Fried Rice, or Cabbage and Char Siew Fried Rice, are miracles from a basic (2-button: cook and warm) rice cooker.
I kid you not.

I too love cooking mixed rice dishes in my rice cooker! But usually I'm very very lazy so only things in my fridge and pantry tend to go in - so Chinese sausage, frozen peas and dried shitake mushrooms are a common one!
ReplyDeleteOne question...."When do we eat?"
ReplyDeleteHappy W W, mine's up...a love interest today. Hope you can stop by.
hmmmm...yummy :D
ReplyDeletePlease check out mine Thanks
Yeah, I am feeling hungry now too. Love the shot of the mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteyou have simplified the dish. u made it so simple. before i cook this dish i normally fry the uncooked rice grains with garlic n onions first before i actually put in the rice cooker to cook for claypot chicken. This way every rice grain will b separate n not stick together. it will taste better too.
ReplyDeletethe other stuff like mushroom, chicken etc, oyster sauce are necessities but I oso use use some other stuff too when i have guests.
Hey, I love to cook that dish too. It's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou really cook those dishes for your own consumption? You are not working as a cook or something?
Whoever married (or marry) you is indeed the happiest person on Earth ... !! All those wonderful dishes.
I stick with only a few and rotate them according. Some more I seldom cook at home :( Boo !!
I had a go at a variation of this one pot dish a few weeks ago but it dod not turn out very nice. Somehow, the chicken always turned out like its been watered down and the rice too soggy. What's the secret?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. MB
ReplyDeleteMy rice cooker also does "fried" rice, but I've yet to try it. It's also programmable so I can delay the cooking or keep it warm for several hours. I'll have to try this one-pot meal.
ReplyDeleteOyster sauce is my second favorite seasoning, right after fish sauce :-) I add it to all my stir-fries and fried rice. YUM!
what can i say, i'm a mushroom fan, too. :)

Never seen such a way to decorate the chicken wings,
ReplyDeleteYou're an artist!
Yum, easy & delicious one pot meal. Your version is much healthier than the normal fried rice too.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI ate this kind of one pot rice since young. I've tried it a few times on my own. I love it as a simple, fuss free dinner. And I always cook extra for next day's lunch.
ReplyDeleteThis is intriguing. I could not survive without my rice cooker...thanks for this recipe.
ReplyDeleteyummy!!!!hmmmm!!happy ww
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! It is beautiful~!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't live without my rice cooker -- I use it for all sorts of steamed things, and it really makes the best rice.
ReplyDeleteChicken, shiitakes and oyster sauce would be pretty tasty. The rice cooker is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets as well!
ReplyDeleteRice cooker is my favourite cooking utensil after my grill pan. Such a life saver when we want something quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me more ideas!
I often cook with oyster sauce. Add into rice or various stir fry dishes. your dish look great!
