A perfect baked rice recipe for a lazy weekday evening.
Ingredients
  • 200-250g chicken fillet, remove tendons and cut into small cubes
  • 1 can of Campbell's Cream of Celery
  • A mixture of mozarella and parmesan cheese (as much as you like!)
  • 2-3 handfuls of frozen mixed vegetables
  • 160g rice grains (or 1 cup using the cup that came with my rice cooker)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • water for cooking 1 cup of rice (according to your rice cooker)
Seasoning for the chicken
  • 1 tablespoon chicken marinade
  • a few dashes of ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hua diao jiu
  • a dash of sesame oil
Instructions
  1. Marinate chicken with seasoning. You can do this the night before cooking.
  2. Cook rice as you normally do in the rice cooker.
  3. When the rice is cooked, mix the butter in evenly with the rice.
  4. Mix in the chicken fillet and mixed vegetables till the ingredients and rice are well-mixed.
  5. Scoop half the portion of the mixture into a casserole dish.
  6. Spread half the can of cream of celery evenly on the surface of the mixture.
  7. Place a layer of cheese on the cream of celery if you want the baked rice to be extra cheesy. Otherwise, skip this step.
  8. Scoop the other half of the rice mixture into the casserole dish.
  9. Again, spread the cream of celery evenly on the rice mixture.
  10. Top with cheese evenly.
  11. Pre-heat oven to 180degC.
  12. Place the dish into the oven and bake at 180degC for 20-30min (or when the cheese browns beautifully). [Note that oven temperatures may vary and I've had to increase the temperature in my new oven to 200degC.]
