Ojiya/ Soup Rice

Ojiya or Soup Rice has been a favourite dish of my  kids, they love it because the broth/soup makes the rice soft and yet its not as thick as porridge. And as a busy mother that without any helper nowadays, this is one of the One Pot Meal that I would like to include in my Dinner Menu too.

All you need is a good broth and some seafood or meat. I will normally out prawn or fish, so it makes the broth even tastier.

You can try this when you have run out of ideas of what to cook tonight.

Recipe :-
1. 1/2 cup rice (washed)
2. 1 litre Broth (any broth, I use mushroom broth)
3. Some Meat Ball
4. Some Shrimp
5. Egg (beaten)
6. Seaweed (korean, salted)
7. Furikake (Japanese Sprinkle on Rice)

Method:
1. Boil broth till boiling in high fire, add rice. Don't cover, stiring for 1 minute, after you see rice started to expand, turn to medium fire and cover lid for 10minutes, stir the rice so it didnt stick at the bottom. If the rice is soft, turn to high again, add in meat balls prawns. stir in beaten egg, meanwhile swirl egg with chopstick to form egg drop (蛋花）

2. Serve with Seaweed and Furikake.

One Pot Meal : Baked Red Sauce Chicken Leg on Coconut Rice

I love to cook for my family specially my children because they give me the best compliments ever. Actually the main reason is because I want them to have more home cook meals. Cooking is an art and also one of the way to unwind. I love one pot meal, its easy to make and most important I clean less utensils after cooking.

Cooking with french oven is also my favourite because it save time and food turned out to be tastier (haha). Le Creuset's colour are too attractive and hard to say no isn't?
