Steamed Chicken Rice by HCP

Cooking rice in a pan? I always fear that the base of the rice will burnt, but after using this Happy Call Pan (HCP) several times for cooking rice, not more worries! As long as maintaining a low heat throughout the cooking time, it does not burnt that easily and it cook rather fast too! Simply loves this steamed chicken rice, though I actually overcooked the chicken slightly ;P Do not own a HCP, try cooking in a rice cooker instead :) here is a traditional hainanese chicken rice recipe which I've done previously :D
