Rice Cooker duck rice
I also tried out my friend’s claypot ckn rice. But instead of ckn, I used left-over duck meat that’s sitting in d freezer.
(a)
500g duck meat
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 tsp sesame oil
8 bulbs shallots (finely chopped)
2 tbsp ginger (chopped)
(b)
1 cup uncooked rice
3/4 cup water
Marinate (a) overnite in d fridge. Dump (a) & (b) into d rice cooker & cook as 1 normally does for plain white rice. When d cooking cycle is completed, let stand for 10-15mins be4 serving.
It’s so tasty that I had 1 full bowl even though am on diet & don’t usually take rice after 4pm.

Also tried d Butter bread recipe that Sindy give few days ago. Turn out not as soft as d Yogurt bread but with a stronger taste to it.

- 140 g Warm milk
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- ½ pc Egg
- 35 g Butter (room temperature)
- 40 g Chinese wolf-berries
- ½ tbsp Sesame seeds
Looks very different from what they both have cause I soak d wolfberries in hot water be4 draining them out & putting them into d bread maker. Thus, d wolfberries were soft enough to break down & "melt" into d dough during kneading.
