Yam is probably one of my favorite root vegetables. It can be used as a dessert, snack and even in a main dish like this one. Yam chopped up add into "claypot rice" adds a texture to it.
I spotted Little inbox having an awesome recipe for Yam Rice as well (SOO love her presentation too!).
Yam Rice (Serves 4-5)
2 cups of rice (I use basmatic)
1 tsp of garlic minced
300 grams of Yam chopped
500 grams of chicken thigh meat diced
10 dried shitake mushrooms hydrated and diced
Seasoning
2-3 tablespoon of oyster sauce
2 tablespoon of soya sauce
2-3 tablespoon of Hua Tiao Wine
dashes of pepper
1) Marinate chicken with seasoning. Set aside for around 15-20 mins.
2) Heat pan with oil. Cook garlic. Sizzle chicken and add yam and mushrooms. Add a few tablespoons of water and cover.
3) Meanwhile cook rice.
4) After around 10 mins, add chicken into the rice pot. Cook till rice is done.
Serve with veges! =)
