Preparation

1

Wash the rice in the rice cooker bowl. Wash and drain the water repeatedly until the water runs clear, this can take about 3-4 times.

2

Prepare the chicken breast, ginger and spring onion.

3

Prepare the dried scallops by immersing them in a bowl of warm water. After 30 seconds break them up with your hands so that you get strips.

Ready? Let's cook!

1

Add water to the rice in the rice cooker bowl. Then add the chicken, ginger and dried scallops. Close the lid.

2

Cook for 25 minutes. Give it a stir to feel the consistency. It should feel quite runny without too much water left. If it's too runny, leave for another 3 minutes and check. If it's too thick or gets too thick then add water and stir and leave for another 3 minutes so that it heats up again.

3

Add salt, to taste. Garnish with spring onions and a sprinkling of white pepper.
