Ingredients:

2 cups of rice, washed and soaked in cold water for 1 hour (remove water before putting it into the pan)
4 chicken feet

2 chinese sausages (lapchang / 膶肠)
8 shiitake mushrooms, soaked in cold water for 4 hours and cut into bite size (reserve the water)
2 shallots, sliced
2 slices of ginger
Oil
Fried onions/shallots/garlics (Optional)
Fried egg (Optional)
3 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tbs oyster sauce
1/2 - 1 tsp white pepper powder
1 tbs mirin
1 tsp sesame oil

Direction:

• Marinade the chicken feet in oyster sauce, white pepper powder, mirin, and sesame oil for 1 hour
• Heat oil in the pan and add shallots till fragrant
• Add ginger, mushroom, and sugar to the pan and stir fry for 1 minute
• Add chicken feet along with its sauce to the pan and stir fry for 2 minutes.  You can also use chicken thigh or breast instead
• Add rice and soy sauce to the pan and stir fry for another 2 minutes
• Place them in the rice cooker
• Add water left from soaking the mushroom till the third bar in the rice cooker.  If you don't have enough mushroom water, just add the regular water
• Cook in the rice cooker till cooked
• Since we don't really like to eat the chicken feet this way, we threw them away once the rice is cooked.  The chicken feet are only for flavoring for us
• Serve hot with fried egg and fried onion/shallot/garlic
