One-pot cooking

One of my favourite food is the claypot rice. The meat used is chicken mostly but other meats can also be used. Claypot rice with toasted salted fish gives added aroma and taste.

When time is a constraint or something simple is preferred, I would do the one-pot cooking routine with the rice-cooker. Rice, vegetables and meat can be put in together at one good and voila! you have everything ready to eat after some twenty minutes or so. How convenient.

There are some great one-pot cooking recipes here.
