This recipe, using a rice cooker, is by Chef Shigeyoshi Toyoshima who won a grand prize at Chef's quick and easy recipe contest. I was one of the 3 judges at the contest (those who follow my Facebook page know that).

Why I chose his recipe is because it was easy using a rice cooker. Also, all the ingredients he used are pretty much available at Japanese households.



BTW, for those who live in Tokyo, if you get a chance to visit his restaurant, please say you watched this video. The chef will offer you some free prawn crackers :)

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 60 min
Number of servings: 2-3

Ingredients:
250g (8.8oz.) chicken thigh (with skin)
1 tsp. cooking oil
salt and cracked black pepper
2 cups (300g=10.5oz.) uncooked rice
400ml water
A
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/2 tsp. consomme powder
* 1/4 tsp. pepper
((Red Sauce))
* 2 tbsp. ketchup
* 1/2 tsp. chili powder
* 1 tsp. vinegar
((Brown Sauce))
* 2 tsp. Miso
* 2 tsp. oyster sauce
* 2 tsp. sugar
* 1 tsp. sesame oil
((Fragrant Sauce))
* 5g (0.17oz.) minced garlic
* 10g (0.35oz.) minced ginger
* 40g (1.4oz.) minced onion
* 2 tsp. cooking oil
shredded cabbage, lettuce, tomato, etc...

Directions:
1. Wash rice and drain in a strainer.
2. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan. Place the chicken skin-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side. Press the chicken with a spatula to cook it evenly. (It doesn't have to be cooked through.)
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and add water. Place the rice, A, and the water in a rice cooker and mix well. Place sliced chicken on top of the rice and start cooking.
5. While cooking the rice, make the sauces. As for the Red Sauce and the Brown Sauce, mix the ingredients very well. As for the Fragrant Sauce, place the ingredients in a small sauce pan and cook until tender (make sure you don't brown them).
6. When it's done, don't open and leave it for about 10 minutes to blend the flavor. Then remove the chicken and toss the rice lightly with a rice paddle. *Some rice cookers like mine include steaming time, thus you can toss the rice immediately.
7. Pile the rice on a dish, place the chicken on top, and garnish with some vegetables of your choice. Serve with the sauces.

Asari (Clam) Ramen Noodles


Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20 min
Number of servings: 2
Calories per Serving: 400Kcal

Ingredients:
2 packages fresh Ramen noodles
200g (7.0oz.) clams
1inch (3cm) Kombu kelp
800ml water
A
* 1/2 tbsp. sake
* 3/4 tsp. salt
200g (7.0oz.) bean sprouts (mixed with other veggies)
cooking oil
salt and cracked black pepper
whole kernel corn (canned) if you like
chopped green onion if you like

Directions:
1. If your clams have some sand in them, place the clams in a dark container and fill it with salted water (as salty as sea water). And let sit for several hours. The clams push salt water and sand out of their shells. Then drain well.
2. In a large pot, put water, Asari (clams), and Kombu kelp. Bring to a boil, remove the foam (dirt), then cook on medium for about 2 minutes. Season with A.
3. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan. Stir-fry bean sprouts until slightly softened. Then season with salt and cracked black pepper. (You can cook more veggies if you like!!!)
4. In a different large pot, boil water. Add fresh Ramen noodles in the boiling water and gently stir noodles with chopsticks. Cook Ramen noodles according to your package (mine was 3 min). Drain the noodles in a strainer and place them in a dish. *You don't want to fight over the noodles, so cook one portion at a time :P
5. Ladle soup into each bowl. Top each bowl with bean sprouts and clams. Sprinkle with corn and green onions, if desired.

You can add more toppings if you want: Naruto, Wakame, Menma, seasoned eggs, etc...
