Instructions

  • Combine the chicken, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, corn starch, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
    1 chicken thigh, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon corn starch, Pinch of salt
  • Stir together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water to make the sweet soy sauce, then set aside.
    3 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1.5 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon water
  • Wash and drain the jasmine rice completely. Add the rice and water to the claypot and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium low and cook for 3 minutes until the water is absorbed.
    ¾ cup jasmine rice, ¾ cup water
  • Layer the chicken, Chinese sausage, and shiitake mushrooms on top of the rice, leaving some space in the middle for the egg later. Cover, drizzle 1 tablespoon avocado oil around the edge of the lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Drizzle another 1 tablespoon avocado oil around the edge, then rotate the claypot to heat all four sides for 4-5 minutes so the edges get crispy. Partway through, drizzle the final 1 tablespoon avocado oil around the edge to ensure you get a crispy rice bottom.

  • Turn off the heat, crack the egg on top of the rice, cover, and let sit for 2-3 minutes until the egg is slightly cooked with a runny yolk.
    1 egg
  • Garnish with a dash of white pepper, chopped scallions, and a drizzle of sweet soy sauce. Mix the rice and scrape up the crispy bottom, then serve immediately.
