Chinese Sausage Chicken Rice using Rice Cooker (Philips HD3126)

Chinese Sausage Chicken Rice using Philips HD3126 Rice Cooker

This one pot dish is one of my kids’ favourites at home. The smell released from the rice cooker is so heavenly that you will definitely ask for another second or third round of serving.

There are many versions and ways of cooking this rice recipe and the most common method is using a claypot. However, busy mums like us would prefer anything that is fast and easy. Thus I would highly recommend using a rice cooker so you don’t need to watch a claypot over fire. I have another example of using rice cooker but to cook Chinese Lotus Pork Rib soup.

Any rice cooker can be used to cook this one pot meal. Even this single-function Philips HD3126 would do the trick. (Detailed reviews at the end)

Deariebear Mommie Tips

• You can opt out the grated ginger during the chicken marination if you don’t really like small ginger in your rice. 
• If you want the rice to be more moist, you can put in more water like 1/2 small cup of water with 1/2 tablespoon each of oyster sauce, light soya sauce and dark oyster sauce
