Claypot Chicken Rice

After much persuasion and coaxing, Qiheng finally agreed to help me cook claypot chicken rice. without the claypot that is. where to find claypot here wor??

I printed the recipe off the internet. Recipe can be found here.

I know i said i persuaded Qiheng to help me cook.. hehe.. but he ended up doing most of the work while i watch on and tell him what to do/add next ^^

here he is frying the chicken and shitake mushrooms


chicken and shitake mushrooms after marinated for 1 hour. really tasteful!


while he was busy frying the chicken, i was busy watching the rice in hope that it will cook faster


it's finally cooked! ugh darn the vapour... block my view!


tada! the end product: claypot chicken rice without claypot!


yum yum rice! eating on the floor ala Nippon

it was so unbelievably good that he couldn't stop commenting on it. wahahah.. i told u it'd turn out good!!

almost done

we were so satiated after that that we were pushing around that fat little piece of shitake mushroom, forcing each other to eat it!

oh i wanna introduce my new found friend! it is the Gorillapod!

here it is:

it's a tripod.

but it can also do this......

"look! i'm clinging to a bottle!"


us trying it out with the pod hanging from the top of his cupboard door. it is very handy!

now i can take pictures anywhere.. make my camera cling on to poles, benches, anything ^^
