This idea came from my son. I was suggesting that he heated up some chicken stock together with the leftover chicken rice, topping it with shredded chicken rice. He came up with a quicker and equally delicious snack. He topped the chicken rice with a package of Ochazuke Nori - a green tea seaweed seasoning for rice and some hot water. It makes a savory green tea broth. Top it with shredded chicken if you like. Totally Asian but delicious. Give it a try!
NB. This brand of Ochazuke Nori contains some MSG. We not eat this often so we buy it if we cannot find one without MSG. You can use other brands like Furikake-Shirakiku Mishima Ochazuke Wakame that do not have MSG or make your own using green tea, dashi, nori and bonito flakes.
Sometimes when I have a real busy day and really looking forward to a easy comfort meal, I head to Costco for a rotisserie chicken and cucumber. I have chicken rice on my mind. Traditionally this dish is consist of steamed chicken and chicken rice but rotisserie chicken is also good with the rice. What is more versatile than a Rotisserie Chicken from Costco or your local grocery store??? You should be able to get a couple of meals out of the chicken, particularly if it is one from Costco which tends to be larger than your average supermarket rotisserie chicken. Cut the whole chicken to pieces- the two breast, two thighs, two drumsticks and two wings.You can use the meat for your dishes and the bones for making stock. I would use the chicken breast for this dish ( and maybe the drumstick!). There are many meals you can use chicken for, to name a few:
1. Rotisserie Chicken with chicken rice
2. Chicken Congee ( stock made with the chicken bones)
3. Chicken Tortilla Soup
4. Chicken salad
5. Mee Hoon Kuih
