Taiwanese Sesame Oil Rice Chicken (Rice Cooker Recipe)
A cozy Taiwanese sesame oil chicken rice made in a rice cooker—aromatic, comforting, one-pot, and perfect for an easy homemade meal.
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 2 chicken thighs (about 250g), cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ tablespoon light soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Rice
- 2 cups plain white rice, I used Jasmine rice
- 7-8 thinly sliced ginger
- 10 shiitake mushroom, rehydrated and thinly sliced - reserve mushroom water for later
- 2 tablespoons goji berries
- ¼ cup Taiwanese rice wine, or Michiu
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons black sesame oil
- Mushroom water, amount adjusted based on the rice cooker instructions (⅓ cup less than what you would normally add)
- Green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, add chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix together and let it marinate for 15 minutes. Set it aside.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it in the rice cooker.
- Add the marinated chicken, ginger slices, shiitake mushroom, goji berries, rice wine, light soy sauce, and sesame oil.
- Instead of plain water, add mushroom water to the rice. Make sure the amount of water is ⅓ cup less than what you would normally add to cook plain white rice. Stir to combine.
- Close the lid, select the Premium Mode or White Rice setting, and press start.
- When the rice is done, open the lid. Fluff the rice, and drizzle more sesame oil on top if desired. Garnish with green onion and enjoy.
