This is the first homecook food using rice cooker.

**No photo to be attached here as I forgot to photograph it.

Ingredients:
5 pieces of dried mushroom (shiitake mushroom is ok too)
2 sticks of carrots
2 NTUC packed Chicken Breastmeat
1.5 cup of unpolished rice (you can use white rice)
1 small piece of ginger

How to cook:

• Wash and soak dried mushroom in a bowl of warm or room teamperature water (warm or room temperature is to prevent the nutrition in the mushroom being destroyed).
  **IMPORTANT : Don't throw away the water after soaking.
• Wash and chop carrots into small cube.
• Wash and dice the chicken breastmeat. Put the diced chicken meat in a bowl and add seasonings (pepper, light soya sauce and sesame oil). Amount of seasonings to add depends on your taste bud.
  Mix the seasoning and chicken meat well. Let the chicken marinate for 15 mins.
• Chop the ginger into small slices and cut unto match-stick width. Put it into the chicken bowl that you are marinating and mix them well.
• Check the soaked mushroom, it should be soft now. Cut the stem and put them back in the water. Slice the mushrooms.
• Now wash the rice and add enough water together with the mushroom water to cook into the rice cooker. The water from soaking the mushroom will add taste to the rice and there are alot of nutrients in it. So, don't waste it!
• By now, the chicken meat should be marinated for at about 15 mins. Add the chicken meat, carrot and mushrooms into the rice. Mix them well.
• Switch on the cooking on the rice cooker and wait for it to cook!
• Depending on the size of servings, it should be ready in less than an hour. Enjoy cooking!
