Easy One Pot Chicken, Chinese Sausage and Mushroom Rice

I love the idea of one pot dishes. It's easy to prepare and cook and best of all, less pots to clean up ! It is also a great idea if we are busy but still want to enjoy a good meal. The idea came about when I chanced upon Happy Home Baking's Claypot Chicken Rice. 

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: Depending on your rice cooker. Mine takes 1 hour

Ingredients
210 gm of chicken pieces (leave the skin and bone attached)
1 piece of chinese sausage
1 piece of carrot
3 pieces of dark chinese mushroom
1 cup of rice (for 2 person)

Ingredients for marinade
3 cloves of garlic (grated)
1 small red onion (grated)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon of chinese cooking wine
1 teaspoon of light soy sauce
1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon of corn starch

 Steps
1. Wash and clean the chicken.

2. Marinade the chicken with ingredients indicated for marinade. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.

                                     
                                      
3. Soak the chinese mushroom. When soft, cut into thin slices.

4. Slice the carrot thinly.

5. Slice the chinese sausage.

6. Wash the rice. Add in slightly less the amount of water you would usually use for 1 cup of rice. The sauce from the marinade will add on to the liquid.

                                     

7. Top the rice with the chicken, chinese sausage, carrot and mushroom. 
Optional: Sprinkle a dash of salt of you prefer saltier rice.

                                    

8. Put the rice to cook using the rice cooker.

9. Once done, serve immediately while hot.
