Chinese Claypot Rice

1. 1

   Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, cover and marinate for an hour. If the shitakes are not yet hydrated, that's okay. Hydrate them while everything is marinating and add them when ready.

2. 2

   Start with only the rice and water in a medium saucepan (or a claypot if you have one). Bring to a boil and then add the marinated chicken mixture over the top. Don't mix. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Mix the soy, dark soy, sugar and sesame oil. Drizzle evenly over the cooked rice and chicken. Again, don't stir. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes on low heat, making sure the rice is cooked through.

4. 4

   Remove from heat, add chopped scallions and stir to combine. Distribute to serving bowls and top each with a fried egg and maybe some sauteed vegetables.
