This is something nice and easy to cook, but I have not cooked it since the last US trip. Tried it again today and it still taste as nice as I remembered. (^_^)One Pot Rice - Yam & Chicken

2 cups rice (washed n drained)
300g yam (cubed)
5 dried mushrooms (soaked n cubed)
30g dried cuttlefish (soaked n cut into strips)
200g chicken (cubed)
4 tbsp dried shrimp (soaked softed n drained)
4 pips garlic (chopped finely)
4 shallots (chopped finely)
Seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp 5-spice powder (wu xiang fen)
1.5 cups chicken broth (or 1 cube chicken stock)
1/4 tsp pepper
Method
1. Fry garlic and shallots still fragrant. Add in dried cuttlefish and dried shrimp and fry till fragant.
2. Add in chicken, mushrooms and yam and fry till well mixed and fragrant.
3. Add rice and seasoning and mix well.
4. Transfer everything into rice cooker. Add enough water and mix well.
5. Taste and add more seasoning as required according to your preference.
6. Cover and cook till rice is dry n cooked.
P/S: as I used chicken breast, i marinated with light soy sauce and corn starch so that the chicken will not be tough when cooked. Also best to serve it with fried shallots and balachan chilli.
