Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs chopped into big pieces
  • 2 cups jasmine rice washed and pre-soaked
  • 4-5 pieces dried shittake mushroom soaked in 1 cup water
  • 2 Chinese sausage (lap cheong) sliced
  • 3 inch ginger peeled and finely shredded
  • 1/2 head broccoli chopped into big pieces

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Hua Tiao wine
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp corn flour

Sauce for Rice

  • 2 tbsp dark caramel soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Hua Tiao wine
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sugar

Instructions

  • Marinade chicken pieces in chicken marinade at least 2-4 hours in advance, or better overnight.
  • Wash and pre-soak rice for an hour in advance, and drain only when ready to use.
  • Wash and pre-soak dried shittake mushrooms in 1 cup of warm water. Reserve water for use later.
  • Clean ½ head of broccoli and chop into big pieces then set aside.
  • In a big claypot, saute Chinese sausage pieces without oil until lightly browned and oil is rendered. Remove and set aside.
  • Add 1 tbsp neutral flavoured oil into claypot, saute ginger until aromatic. Add in chicken pieces and saute until no longer raw. If you have any chicken marinade sauce remaining, save for use later.
  • Drain rice, and add into claypot along with Chinese sausage and toss well to combine.
  • Add in sauce for rice and any remaining chicken marinade. Add the 1 cup of water used to soak shittake mushrooms, ½ cup of abalone liquid and ½ cup of water. Essentially we'd use a total of 2¼ cup of liquid for 2 cups of rice. If using rice cooker, you would transfer all ingredients to rice cooker bowl at this point.
  • Simmer covered for 20-25 minutes. Uncover arrange abalone and broccoli atop rice, drizzle 2-3 tbsp of abalone liquid and cover and let cook for a further 6-8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
