Claypot Chicken Rice

Serves 4 - 5

Ingredients For Snow Peas

200 gms Snow Peas

1 Tbsp Butter

1 Tsp Chopped Garlic

Salt & Pepper to taste

Method For Snow Peas

In a small skillet, add butter and heat on medium flame. Add chopped garlic and a pinch or salt and pepper. When the garlic is browning, add the peas. Keep tossing and turning them. Cook for 15 mins and keep aside.

Ingredients for Chicken

2 Chicken Breasts sliced in small cuts

Half an Onion (chopped to small pieces)

1 Tbsp Sesame Oil or regular Oil

1 Tsp Ginger and Garlic freshly minced

1 Tsp Light Soya Sauce

1 Tsp Dark Soya Sauce

1 Tsp Oyster Sauce

2 Red Chilies Dry

1 Green Chili

8-10 cubes of Tofu

1 Cube of Chicken Stock

1/4 Cup each of Sliced Carrot, Spinach and Mushroom

1/4 Cup White Wine

1 Tsp Cornflour

Method for Chicken

In a large skillet, add the onions, ginger and garlic into hot oil, keep on medium flame. Add the chilies. Now turn to low flame, add the stock, and vegetables.

Now add the sliced chicken and all other ingredients (except Cornflour and Tofu). Mix well on low flame so that all ingredients have got the flavours of the soya sauce and chili. When the chicken and veggies start to leave water, add the cornflour evenly by mixing with 2 tbsps water and pouring all over. Add Salt accordingly.

You may add a quarter cup water incase you want more gravy, else let the Chicken leave it's own water. After 10 mins of this cooking on low flame, add Tofu. Turn the heat up a little and cover.

Turn off after 10 mins.

Ingredients for Rice

3 - 4 Cups Cooked Rice (I used long grain)

1 Tsp Oil

1 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Fried Garlic

1 Tsp White Wine

Method for Rice

Mix all ingredients in a pan on low heat, and turn off in 10 mins.

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER

In a Serving cauldron-like dish (alternatively a Dutch-oven), place rice gently to form flat even a bed. Top it with the Chicken Gravy dish (only add how much is necessary, you can add more if need be on to your serving plate). Side it with Snow Peas.
