Clay pot chicken rice (rice cooker version)

My family loves chicken rice.There are many version of chicken rice.
This is a claypot style which the rice cooks first & chicken with all else added on top at the 
last 10 mins.Real time saver.
I use the rice cooker instead of claypot coz there'll be crust at the bottom of claypot which i find wasteful..don't want to waste any,believe me!


All other ingredients to add into this chicken rice is pretty much ad hoc coz it's homecook!
Sprinkle some chopped spring onions,fried shallots & white pepper before serving.

Here's one with chinese sausages..


Heartwarming pot of rice..always

The making of Onde Onde

Here's my version of onde onde.A fav teatime treat..actually whenever one feels like having.
Here goes:

Step by step:

Cut sweet potatoes into cubes.
Steam till soft about 15mins.
Mash potatoes while still hot.(use masher)





Add glutinous rice flour into mashed potatoes to form dough.Knead well.
Dough is ready when it doesn't stick to fingers.
Divide into small balls of dough.
Chopped Gula melaka ready as filling.






 

Fill in chopped gula melaka & repeat till all dough is used up.
Put a pot of water to boil.
Optional:
May add a little salt & pandan leaves into boiling water.



Put potatoes balls into boiling water to cook.
Potato balls are cooked when floating on top.
(about 4 mins)
Scoop cooked ones with slotted spoon.




Have grated coconut ready to coat cooked potato balls.

Tips:
Grated coconut should be steamed for 2mins.& add a pinch of salt after steaming.
