One of my favourite one-dish meals to make is Rice Cooker Chicken Rice. That is by combining and cooking rice, chicken stock, spring onions, sliced ginger, garlic cloves, pandan leaves and chicken in a regular rice cooker. This really saves a lot of time and effort than making Poached Chicken Rice Recipe the conventional way. With that recipe, I decided to put on a new spin and re-create a different chicken rice – Chicken, Mushroom and Pumpkin Rice Recipe which I am sharing today. 😀

The Secret Ingredient(s)

Seriously, it doesn’t even look like it’s from a rice cooker eh? I used brown and red rice as a healthier alternative and I highly recommend it anyway ‘cos it doesn’t go soggy easily and gives a nice chewier bite. What really lends a lovely umami flavour to this rice dish is the fried dried prawns and garlic – yep, my secret weapon.

Create Different Rice Dishes With The Rice Cooker

Use your creativity and try substituting the ingredients with others such as taro yam (make it like Teochew yam rice), Chinese yam (huai shan), Chinese sausage, etc. If you’re interested to learn how to make Chicken Claypot Rice with a rice cooker, check out my Rice Cooker Chicken Claypot Rice Recipe.
