Simplified "Claypot" Rice

Let me share a simple recipe with you....Claypot Rice!!..miUmiU & caLi bb's all time favourite..

Ingredients needed :

3 Chicken Thighs(skin removed and cut into bite size pieces)

2 cups of Dried Mushrooms(soaked in water till it turns soft)

4 Chinese sausage(sliced,depends on how many you wish to add to your Claypot rice)

Rice,rinsed

5tbsp of oyster sauce

3 slices of ginger

1 tbsp of oil(depends on individual;in this case i used corn oil)

Seasoning:

1 tbsp of dark soya sauce

1 tsp of salt & MSG

Methods:

A. Mix the chicken thighs and soaked mushrooms together with the oyster sauce, marinate it & leave it for 10 minutes.

B. Stir fry the sliced chinese sausage till it turned crispy & removed it from the wok.

C. Stir fry (A) together with the sliced ginger till the chicken is cooked.

D. Add in the rice & stir well for 1 minute.

E. Remove them and put into your rice cooker, add water & seasonings as well

F. Cooked it for about 25 minutes

It is served best with sambal chilli...

P.S. In this case..i used rice cooker instead of claypot cos it's less hassle..=))..

Let me know if i missed out any points..Enjoy~~

3/4 Done

I bought this last year...till now is still not completed...left with the hair & a little bit here and there..lol..hmm..the skin color is kinda weird..saw similar design at Yishun but different colors of thread given(it's much more nicer than the above)..anyway already bought so fret not..well..it's my first almost completed piece of stitch..will be one of caLi bb's birthday present..keke.. =))

Hellloooo

Been rather lazy to blog again...plurk more instead..keke..it's getting hotter each day..scorching sun makes me dread to go out..think we'll get sunburn easily..life is as usual for me..babysitting & playing with caLi bb everyday..she knows how to say "milk milk" when she's hungry..

Weeks ago..in-laws bought a remote control car at Kiddy Palace for caLi bb to sit on..initially she seems enthusiastic towards her new toy...but now she dare not sit in her car due to the sound produced..actually both miUmiU & I already told his parents not to waste that money on the car cos my precious little one is very timid..even a laughter could scare her off..well anyway...it's been bought so no point telling them(cos they appeared sad when caLi bb doesn't want to sit in)..lol...

Saturday-220809

miUmiU & i woke up super early in the morning cos we were needed to help out for the 中元会....caLi bb was there too and many uncles & aunties enjoyed playing with her...some managed to carry her while others not..my cheeky baby..she prefers ladies cos more things(necklace..hair..etc..) to explore on them..guys on the other hand..only glasses...keke..after the rites..we needed burn all the joss papers..gosh...you cannot imagine that day's weather...simply HOT!!!..i could feel my skin burning...one of the aunties teased me,"Ah Lin ar..your face super red lei..." lol..explained to her that i seldom go out when it's so freaking sunny..haha...had the dinner function at night..MIL attended too even though she was sick..Rachel & Priscilla were present too except for Derek(3 of them are my childhood friends..)..had a heartily chat with them during the dinner..miUmiU, Daddy, My bRo & me eyed on this apple-lookalike(looks like orange also) for the coin storage(gosh..what should i call that besides coin storage?? =pPp)..4 of us felt love at first sight for that cos we felt that it resembled our little precious princess....lol..such a coincidence...i bid the price at $288 but m0mmy's friend was so bad that he purposely jack up the price..was pissed(but in a happy mood)...MIL ended the last bid at $408...but it was not for my caLi bb BUT FIL...lol..it doesn't matter cos we're the last bidder...keke..
