Siew Yoke and Siew Kai One Pot Rice

My partner brought home some frozen siew yoke (Chinese roasted pork), siew kai (Chinese roasted chicken) and siew ngap (Chinese roasted duck) last weekend. 

So much meat! As you know, once these are frozen, they are not as good once defrosted and reheated. I mean, they still taste good but not as good as fresh. 

Since I am now looking into the lazy way of cooking a more or less complete meal, I thought it might be a good idea to use these roasted meats to cook a one pot rice meal. These roasted proteins are very flavorful and they save me a lot of time because I need not prepare from scratch.

So I took one roasted chicken leg and some roasted pork to defrost in the fridge overnight. The next day, I deboned  the chicken leg and cut the meat into cubes. I also cut the roasted pork into cubes.

Just like how I cooked Dirty Rice, I used celery, carrots and onions to flavor the rice. Then I added seasoning, rice and the chopped up roasted meat and transferred everything into my rice cooker. 

After that, just add water, switch on the rice cooker and let it do its thing. This is such an easy meal to prepare. I love being lazy heh...heh....

Look at that. Rice with meat and veggies. All in one. No fuss. And it's a good way to use up any leftover roasted meat.

It sort of remind me of "chye boey" soup where leftover roasted meat and vegetables are cooked together with salted mustard greens. Maybe we can call this chye boey rice? heh...heh....
