THE BEST CLAY POT CHICKEN RICE (鸡肉煲仔饭)
This clay pot chicken rice is so addictive! After I developed this recipe, I was so hooked and couldn't help but cook this dish every week. Beyond the greatness of the tender and moist chicken, the rice absorbs all the extract from the mushrooms and chicken grease, and is then seasoned with oyster sauce. It is SO good! My recipe teaches you the easiest way to create a super flavorful one-dish meal without a clay pot or rice cooker.

Steps:
- Rinse rice a few times and drain. Add water and mix. Let the rice soak for 30 minutes.
- Rinse shiitake mushrooms. Place dried shiitake mushrooms in a medium sized bowl and add warm water to cover. Mix a few times so that the mushrooms are coated with water. Set aside and allow to rehydrate for about 20 minutes. (Slice fresh mushroom if you use it instead.)
- Combine chicken, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ginger, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Blend in cornstarch and mix well by hand until chicken is evenly coated. Marinate at room temperature.
- When the shiitake mushrooms turn soft, carefully rinse mushrooms to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside.
- Drain rice and add into a medium sized dutch oven (or clay pot). Add 350 milliliters water. Add Heat over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and mix well. Bring to a boil while stirring regularly, just like cooking risotto. Turn to medium heat. Continue to cook and stir, until the water is almost absorbed by the rice, about 5 minutes. Cover and simmer over lowest heat for 10 minutes.
- While simmering the rice, cook the chicken and mushrooms. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil into a nonstick skillet over medium high heat until warm. Add chicken and let it cook for 1 minute without stirring. Place the chicken so that you cook the skin side first, until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, and the chicken is half cooked through. Turn to lowest heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- (Optional) Use a spoon to transfer the extra oil to a small bowl, until just a thin layer of oil remains in the skillet. If you use skinless chicken, skip this step.
- Turn back to medium high heat and add shiitake mushrooms. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- When the rice is ready (the water should be fully absorbed by now), arrange chicken, mushrooms, and Chinese broccoli on top of the rice. Cover and continue to simmer for 18-20 minutes (the longer you simmer, the more crispy the rice on the bottom will be). Be careful - you should move as quickly as you can, so the temperature of the rice won't drop too much.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the oyster sauce with the sugar and garlic in a small bowl.
- When the rice is done, remove from heat and uncover. Drizzle oyster sauce on top immediately, while the rice is hot, and mix everything well with a spatula. I suggest you scrape the rice from the bottom while the pot is still warm. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to scoop out.
- Serve hot as a main dish/

CLAY-POT CHICKEN IN OYSTER SAUCE
This dish is terrific on a cold winter night. I got the recipe from "A Spoonful of Ginger" by Nina Simonds. Also, I like the way the chicken is browned in step 2 and use that method whenever I have a recipe that calls for browning chicken. Prep time includes marinating time.

Steps:
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat them with the marinade.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for 30 minute or longer in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 475° Arrange the chicken pieces, with the marinade and the drained black mushrooms, on cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil.
- Roast for 15 minutes, turning once, until the skin is golden. Remove.
- Transfer the browned chicken and mushrooms to a clay pot, dutch oven, or a casserole with a lid. Add the braising sauce and heat until the liquid is boiling.
- Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook for 45 minutes, until the meat is very tender.
- Skim any fat from the surface.
- The sauce should be slightly thick. If it hasn't thickened sufficiently, heat until boiling, add a little cornstarch dissolved in water, and cook, stirring, until the sauce has a smooth coating consistency.
- Scoop the chicken and sauce onto a serving platter or serve from the pot.
- Steamed rice and a vegetable go good with this dish.
