My inspiration of the dish originated from my boy who likes to eat chicken grain but he hates individuals odds and ends of crashed garlic clove or ginger root which are hidden among the grain which a few of the chicken grain stalls added. So to be able to allow him to enjoy his favourite food and simultaneously prepared it inside a more healthier way by reduction of the oil and salt used, I made the decision to include my HCP Claypot Grain method into this cooking this dish.
And also to cut short the cooking process and obtain everything ready for meal inside a faster time, Happy Call Pan (HCP ) method certainly is useful for individuals the master of one. Try not to worry if you do not since you still can use this recipe making use of your grain oven(use broth based on grain oven method) in addition to normal claypot which may produce similar result too.
