Claypot Chicken - Kinda

I had me some fresh shitake mushrooms in the fridge. Seem like now is shroom season and its selling itself cheaply... lulz.
I had to do something coz.. it has been a week.
You see.. my source of pain... is always thinking what to eat, how to cook what I want to eat and also.. washing my undies - which is another story. lulz.

Anyways, so I love the claypot chicken I usually had in Kitchen Delight. So was thinking - oh, it couldn't be that hard eh?

I googled and I found this: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-chinese-no-clay-pot-chi-137485

Excited kan? I didn't have all the ingredients - well actually - I kinda worried coz I only read the recipe like 200 times and just prepared it vaguely from my failing memory. But.. it turned up GREAT!!!!



I shall call itz.. my magical Claypot Rice!

Leftover rice (I had calrose rice)
Chicken breasts - cut into big chunks coz its yum
Ginger (depends on how much you like Ginger - hello!) - grated or sliced thinly
Cornstarch
Soy sauce
Scallions - cut to er... you cut em and you make sure its easy for you to nom em!
Shiitake mushrooms - sliced thinly or not. depends.. on your.. effort.
Salt to taste
Cooking Oil
and my secret ingredient - chillies!
And.... non stick pan with cover

Marinate ciken with soy, some cornstarch, ginger and some salt
In the a heated non stick pan, drizzle some cooking oil and then add in mushrooms.. sautee until its looked kinda like its sad (heh), add in rice (don't pour in a lump - separate em) and then add in the ciken mixture.. add in a lil bit of water and mix well... reduce heat and cover the pan. In about 6 to 10 minutes add in scallion and chillies (for oomph), mix well and turn off heat when the chicken is cooked.

It had the taste of claypot rice maybe because of the soy, ginger and mushroom I used. And the bird eye chillies I used certainly upped the oooomph factor. As the original recipe calls for smoked sausage, sesame oil, ciken broth and sugar - I think I can live without it.

I had me some leftovers and this morning I cracked an egg into the pan, let it cook for a bit and it became a really nice breakfast because the rice has become a bit crusty / crispy at the bottom. Yummeh.

Nasi Goreng Hati Panas

Geram2 malam tadi balik umah teringat ada hati ayam dalam fridge baru ku..

jadiklah Nasi goreng hati panas

Jadi orang bujang ni senang aje. Nak makan nasi goreng sekejap je siap, nak ikhtiar atau tak..

Ingredients:

Nasik (aku masak 1 pot setengah)

Sayur2

Perencah nasi goreng kampung maggi

Hati ayam di potong dadu

Bawang putih x 3 - blend

Bawang merah x 2 - blend

Cili api - blend

Ikan bilis - blend

Garam + Ajinomoto

Tumis bahan blend (aku guna kuali non stick flat jer - mampuih la berterabur) sampai agak kering, masukkan garam + ajinomoto. Pas tu masukkan hati ayam, tumis sampai masak (tak keluar darah, nampak firm) baru la masukkan nasik. Masukkan perencah maggie tu (ni kalau sorang punye portion, masakkan separuh peket perencah je). Gaul rata.. Masukkan sayur, rasa garam ok ke tak... Pas tu wallah... dah siap nasik goreng hati panas..

Sebab aku masak pkol 10 MALAM, bende ni jadik lah lunch aku hari ni.. sedap gile... sebab cukup semua rasa. Aku mmg tambah bawang segala tu sebab nasi goreng aku mesti ada homemade feel.. Segala kesusahan untuk perut tersayang.. Hahahahhaha
