 Ingredients :

1. Half a yam (diced and fried)
2. Half small bowl of dried shrimps (soak with hot water for 30mins, then pat dry and chopped finely or just grind it finely)
3. 2-3 dried shitake mushroom (soak with hot water till soft, then pat dry with a kitchen towel and finely diced)
4. 1 chicken breast meat (cut into small cubes or shredded, marinate with some corn flour)
5. 2 cups of pearl white rice. (washed and drained)
6. 1 clove of minced garlic
7. 4 shallots (shredded)
8. Finely chopped fresh spring onion or chinese parsley

Seasoning :
1 tbsp of oyster sauce
Fish sauce
Pinch of sugar
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce
White pepper powder
Sesame seeds oil

Methods :

Heat up some oil in the wok,  fry the shallots and minced garlics till lightly browned and frangrance. Add in the grinded dried shrimps and keep tossing till the shrimps are cooked and add in the mushrooms and chicken meat. Mix well. Lastly add in rice and keep stirring and add in the seasoning according to preference. Add some sesame oil to enhance the flavor of the rice.

Scoop up the rice and put to cook with the rice cooker. Add water to the level where the water a just slightly over the top of the rice(or just enough to cover the rice completely). Don't put too much water or the rice will turn out too wet and affect the taste and texture.

Easy right? I always prepare this dish when I don't feel like cooking for dinner later.  Just keep the rice warm in the rice cooker and serve it hot with some fried shallots, garnish with some chopped fresh spring onions and home cooked sambal. Yum, yum...
