Steamed Chicken Rice using the Electric Lunch Box

Made an easy steamed chicken rice with my electric lunch box.

1. Wash one cup of rice.

2. For the size of my chicken drumstick, I added about 65 ml of water into the rice. Normaly rice cooking, is one cup of rice and one cup of water but for this recipe cause I am steaming the chicken drumstick together with the rice, some moisture will be produced by the chicken drumstick as chicken stock. Depending on the size of your chicken drumstick, do not add more than 70 ml of water as the rice will be very soggy.

3. Trim off all the fats of the chicken drumstick and wash the chicken drumstick, then add handful of salt all over the chicken drumstick and placed inside the steaming bowl together with the rice.

4. Tie few stalks of pandan leaves into a knot and add some slices of ginger into the rice. (If pandan leaves are unavailable, can substitute with spring onion.)

5. Add one bowl of HOT water into the base of electric lunch box and the chicken rice will be cooked in about 30 minutes.

How to cook rice in a electric lunch box

Cooking rice in a rice cooker is very easy but this time, I decided to cook using the electric lunch box.

Using the cup from the electric lunch box set, I measured one cup of rice, wash them and using the same cup to add one cup of water to the washed rice. The portion is 1:1 (1 cup water to 1 cup rice).

Then I added 3/4 rice bowl of HOT water (dont use cold water , will take a longer time to cook, HOT water will quicken the cooking time).

The rice should be cooked in under 30 minutes. The electric lunch box will auto shut off when the water in the base of the electric lunch box dried up or if you have a time setting in your electric lunch box, adjust to about 30 minutes cooking time.
