Rice in Pot 北菇滑鸡煲仔饭


This is perhaps one of Hong Kong's most loved dish in winter. Chicken dices are seasoned with ginger, salt, sugar, Shaoxing liquor, soy sauce, cornstarch, reconstituted shiitake mushroom, preserved radish 冲菜 and rice dice. When the water is cooked to below the rice, the chicken is added on top. 15 minutes or so later on medium heat, the rice is cooked and so is the chicken. Because it is a gentle and moist heat, the chicken is exceptionally tender and silky. Some add Chinese sausages and/or other things, all good.
