Rice Cooker Chicken Rice

Rice Cooker Chicken Rice recipe shared below takes no more than 30 minutes.  Cutting ingredients and set in rice cooker; stir-fry some ingredients then cook everything in rice cooker and that’s about it.  Chicken vendor can always cut the chicken for you to save you more time.

Rice Cooker Chicken Rice is one of those simple rice dishes that save you time and hassle.  Rather than preparing several dishes to serve with rice, Rice Cooker Chicken Rice has a combination of rice, vegetable and chicken dish – all-in-one!  Due to simplicity, Rice Cooker Chicken Rice is often served as homemade chicken rice and rarely found in restaurant.

Different varieties of rice dishes can be created using similar cooking methods, depending on your creativity.  My other favourite of Rice Cooker Rice recipes are Yam Rice and Dried Oyster Rice.  You can also turn these rice dishes into porridge by adding more water to cook the rice.  But beware that yam turns too tender when cooked too long and may eventually melt into the hot porridge.  Unless you like it that way, you can add the yam only when water starts boiling in the rice cooker.

Note the rice:water ratio when cooking Rice Cooker Chicken Rice dish.  Water is slightly lesser than we would normally use for plain white rice.  This is because stir-fried ingredients contribute certain level of liquid from the sauce they created.  If you added too little water, you can always add some more and continue to cook the rice.  If you added too much water, you can’t possibly add rice to absorb the water!  But freak not, turn Rice Cooker Chicken Rice into Rice Cooker Chicken Porridge
