The claypot chicken rice

I had a craving for rice last night, so when I got home, I made a claypot chicken rice. Disregarding minor details like I have neither a claypot nor a charcoal burner. it turned out excellent. It even had the slightly burnt bits of rice at the bottom of the pot.

First, I put one and half cups of water to boil. Then I dumped in some chicken thighs, Chinese cooking wine, sesame oil, a knob of ginger, two twigs of smashed lemongrass, light soya sauce, dark soya sauce and pepper. After simmering the thighs for 15 minutes, I added one cup of rice, covered the pot and let it cook for another 15 minutes.

I swear, I really did intend to take photos of my nonstickpot chicken rice, but the entire thing was so delicious that I simply did not have the time.

So, for all of you readers out there (except Denty who watched me gobble the massive heap of rice in stunned silence), it was kinda brown and ricey with chicken scattered about.
