Claypot Chicken Rice + Xiao Bai Chye

hubby tried using the rice cooker with "claypot" function this round, it gives the similar feel of cooking by claypot over fire. There's some crispiness in the rice.

This CNY we received lots of pacific clams, razor clams, abalones, so might as well use in our daily cooking. hehe
