More Chinese home cooked comfort food. Chicken and Mushroom Clay Pot Rice is about as close to Chinese comfort food as you can get. It has an earthy wholesome flavour as a result of the mushroom base and the way in which it is cooked which when combined with succulent chicken adds a different kind of meaty texture for a taste sensation.

Notes
Add some bok choi if you want more vegetables. You can add some Chinese
sausage if you want more meat. If you don’t have a CLAYPOT function on
your rice cooker you could try the CRUST / TAHDIG function but it may require
experimentation with timing.
