BooBii Claypot Rice

Its dinner time and am gonna invent something again...

BooBii Claypot Rice
Serve 1

Ingredient:

  • 1cup rice (I use pearl rice)
  • water (enough to cook the rice)
  • ½ tsp Maggi chicken seasoning
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • pinch of salt
  • Cabbage
  • Sweat pea
  • Ikan asim (salted fish)

Marinate

  • 100g chicken breast (cut into cube-bite size)
  • 2tsp yakiniku sauce
  • dash of pepper

Direction:

  1. Marinate the chicken for at least 15mins
  2. Cook rice in a claypot. The water level should be 2cm above the rice. When the rice is half cooked, mix the marinated chicken followed by the vegetable, and then cover the claypot.
  3. After abt 5mins or when the rice is almost dry, place the ikan asim. Leave the claypot over a low fire until the rice is cooked.
  4. Garnish with fried shallots and parsley if desired. Serve hot with sambal balacan
Verdict: Not too bad except that the rice was abit moist but I dun mind..........
Last month, my mum-in-law brought some ikan asim from Indonesia.....She personally goreng it herself and its really nice. She brought along some limes which taste and smell different from the local one... I used it with my mum's sambal balcan (with a bit of sugar and vinegar)......wah, really "no horse run"............................

Boo & Bii




Today is the 3rd day of CNY 06..Since I am not working (although on standby in case of emergency), I decided to set up a blog site for those who care to view.. To start off, I decided to share some pix of my bao bei (Boo & Bii)..JUst a short intro for those unware, Boo & Bii are our Miniature Schnauzers..Boo is female, 4yr old and salt & pepper, whereas Bii is male, 6 mths old and white..Hubby said Boo is too lonely esp when he is always not at home (due to job nature) and I work irregular hour, it would be good to give Boo a companion..Bii's arrival thus add life to this family..Although he is naughty, everybody loves him just like they love Boo
