Clay Pot Chicken with Mushroom (冬菇滑鸡煲)
December 22nd, 2011Recipes, Chinese Recipes, Recipes38 Comments
Recently, my friend told me that I should be sharing more everyday recipes on Rasa Malaysia—meaning homey recipes that can be served on a constant basis. Truth be told, I cook and eat mostly everyday dishes at home. I mean, blog aside, most of the recipes I make are humble, everyday dishes that you will want to eat over and over again, without ever getting bored. Clay pot chicken with mushroom is one of them. I don’t know why it has taken me this long to share this wonderful recipe; I guess the notion that it is not that visually appealing is the main reason.
Anyway, during winter months, I use my clay pot almost once a week. I have so many recipes that can be easily prepared in a clay pot, for examples: Taiwanese 3-Cup Chicken, Sesame Oil Chicken, Cantonese Beef Stew, Malaysian Yong Tow Foo, Curry Fish Head, Bak Kut Teh, pork belly in soy sauce, and braised pork ribs with daikon. Clay pot is without a doubt one of my favorite kitchen utensils. The thought of something stewing, braising, and simmering in this kitchenware is enough to stir up my appetite.
Clay pot chicken with mushroom is a very versatile dish. You can throw in extra ingredients to dress up this humble dish—carrot, daikon, onion, or even Cantonese lap cheong (sausage). Either way, the taste is remarkable and the sauce is great with a bowl of soft, fluffy steamed rice.

As much as I love cooking, I don’t—and can’t—cook every day. If you are a home cook, I am sure you understand what I mean. Some days, you wake up, open the refrigerator, look at the ingredients you have, and your mind just goes blank. You either feel like you run out of cooking ideas, don’t know what to cook,…
Braised Mushroom with Dashi
I love mushrooms for as long as I can remember, even when I was a little kid. I love mushrooms of all sorts, shiitake, button, enoki, straw mushrooms—canned or fresh. One of the great things about the United States is that I can get fresh mushrooms easily. They are readily available at the market… Whenever I get some fresh shiitake…

Clay Pot Yong Tau Foo (Yong Tow Foo)
A few weeks ago, when I made my yam rice (taro rice), I also prepared some clay pot yong tau foo (yong tow foo). I am an avid fan of yong tau foo (yong tow foo)—stuffed fish paste with okra, chili, egg plant, tofu, or tofu skin. I used my leftover tofu skin and okra for the stuffing. There is…

This looks good and I have all of these ingredients. Will make this for dinner tonight. Do you have any guidance for maintenance the clay-pot? So far I have cracked two of them already. Thanks!
LOL. I think you’re supposed to oil the inside of the clay pot after use. So when you heat it up again, it doesn’t crack due to the heat. Enjoy this clay pot chicken with mushroom recipe!
do u know any 月子餐? thanks

Thanks Bee :) I just heard about this recipe from my Taiwan friend, I will try it for sure.
Will definitely try this claypot recipe. Claypots just make food taste so much better. :)
I will try this.
This looks so healthy and very easy to do. I’ve been thinking of what else to do with that clay pot that I have.
I’m going to make this recipe tomorrow.
I love your recipes, they’re so easy and sooooo good.
Thank You
Hi Bee, wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas & new year!
Your friend is right, you should post more homely recipes like that. Don’t worry about it being visually appealing or not. As long as it’s tummy appealing :-)
Love this dish~! I made it for Christmas dinner with family and they absolutely loved this dish <3
Perfect dish for the winter :) Love clay pot dishes hehe even though i’ve never managed to successfully make one lol
Hi
Does anyone know if its safe or even possible to use a claypot on an induction stove top?
We love this dish and cozy photo and have some cute clay pots to try it in.
Adam – you cannot use a clay pot on an induction burner, they only work with metal pots. You can use a metal plate designed for non-metallic pots but it may get too hot and crack the pot.
Rasa Malaysia is there a substitute for Shaoxing wine? I am not optimistic about finding it here.
Thanks for the recipe!
Anyone know where can i buy the clay pots? Thanks!
Funny, all these years photographing mushrooms, and I never thought to photograph the dishes we create with them. Not being concerned with what’s edible, just what’s photogenic, has been my mantra when out in the field. I’ll have to branch out into food photography, I guess!
I have a couple of clay pots brought back from Japan but I am afraid to use them over an electric stove top . Is it safe and any suggestions on how to use them ? Ie like a metal pot ?
question: How do you use a claypot? Will it not crack due to the intense heat? I’d like to try but have never used a claypot to cook in before. Please advise!
No, will not crack.
Is there somewhere we can get more info on how to use a clay pot w an electric stove ???
Not sure never tried electric stove. You can use a Dutch oven to make this.
Since I am a Muslim, can i trade Shaoxing wine with something more permissible or can i not use it at all?
Skip it but not as good.
Thanks for the recipe! Sounds delicious! Could I find out if it is alright to use a normal pot if I don’t have a claypot? Thanks in advance!
Can you use any rice wine – I’m in the UK and don’t know where I’d get Shaoxing wine.
Sounds wonderful – I can’t wait to try it :)
Yes, any chinese cooking wine will do.
Is it ok to substitute the clay pot for a casserole dish? I’ve just looked for a clay pot on amazon and was taken aback by the price!
Thank you in advance x
Not too sure never tried it but should be ok.
