One pot Cabbage Rice

As usual, I will cook a very simple and easy dish for lunch.  As I was browsing through the recipes of "The Domestic Goddess Wannabe" I found this attractive one pot dish. Cabbage, being my favourite ingredient I just can't resist cooking it straight away for my today's lunch.  As I am cooking it only for one portion I adjusted the recipes to suit my needs.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup long-grained rice (washed, put in the rice cooker and add water)

2 leaves cabbage (washed and torn into pieces)

1 large shiitake mushrooms (soaked and thinly sliced)

1/2 tbsp dried prawns (washed, soaked and drained)

Some sliced chicken breast (marinated with dash of light soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, shaoxing wine, grounded white pepper and cornflour)

1 1/2 cup water (for cooking the rice)

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp light sauce

Dash of dark soya sauce

Chicken stock granules (to taste)

Dash of grounded white pepper

Methods:

1. In a heated wok, add in some cooking oil, fry the minced garlic till fragrant then add in the dried prawns.
2. Stir fry for a minute, then add in the marinated chicken breast and shiitake mushrooms and stir to mix well.
3. Season with light sauce, chicken stock granules, dark soya sauce and white pepper, stir and taste for correct seasoning.
4. Put in the cabbage, stir to coat the cabbages with the sauce, once properly mixed off the heat.
5. Spoon the fried ingredients together with the sauce onto the rice (let the ingredients sits on top of the rice and do not stir).
6. Press the COOK button.
7. When the water almost dries up, stir the ingredients and rice gently to mix.  Close the lid and continue cooking.
8. The cabbage will release some water as it cooks, so at the end of the cooking process check the doneness of the rice. If you prefer a more softer rice, add a little bit of water and continue to cook.
