Jacky loves to eat Chinese clay pot rice. The kind that’s cooked under an open fire with the flame so big that it wraps around the whole pot. Best if it’s cooked with a coal stove. We missed it so much that it was the first thing we ate in our last trip to Hong Kong. Ha! It’s the ultimate one pot meal that’s so comforting to eat.

When we don’t have the time or patience to make clay pot rice (when our tummies are protesting that is), we would make these EASY one pot meals in pressure cookers. Yes, this steamed rice won’t be the same without the scorched rice, but if you want a quick and easy meal that you can throw together in the last minute, this is it! 😀

There are so many variations of one pot rice we want to try!! The first one pot rice we’ve experimented is a Cantonese classic – Shiitake Mushroom Chicken and Rice 北菇滑雞蒸飯A bite of juicy mushroom with tender and moist chicken, paired with perfectly cooked fragrant rice full of chicken flavors. It’s so deliciously easy to eat.

Chinese Pressure Cooker Chicken and Rice Tips

Please carefully measure the amount of water you use!! This is very critical. Don’t wing it. If you have too much water, the rice will end up mushy; if you have too little water, it’ll end up dry and hard, or even burnt!

Instructions 

  • Rehydrate Shiitake Mushrooms: Place the dried shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl. Rehydrate them with cold water for 20 minutes.
  • Marinate Chicken and Mushrooms: Chop the drumsticks into 2 pieces. Then, marinate the chicken and mushrooms with the marinade sauce for 20 minutes.
  • Rinse Rice: Rinse rice under cold water by gently scrubbing the rice with your fingertips in a circling motion. Pour out the milky water, and continue to rinse until the water is clear. Then, drain the water.
  • Pressure Cook Chicken and Rice: Add 1 tsp salt and 1½ cup of cold water in Instant Pot. Give it a quick mix. Add in the marinated chicken and mushrooms.
    *Pro Tip: To avoid the burn error, try to fill the whole bottom of Instant Pot with a single layer of chicken pieces and mushrooms to avoid the rice from touching the bottom of the pot.
    Add in the rice and make sure all the rice are submerged in the water. Do not mix.
    Close the lid. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 9 minutes + Natural Release for 15 minutes.
  • Serve: Serve immediately & enjoy~
