My Version of Nasi Hainan

It is my simple version of nasi hainan. Very easy to cook. Just put everything in the rice cooker and let it cook for itself :-). I "invented" it when my mom went home from the hospital after all of her toes were operated. I cooked this yummy food for her in the morning and she can easily turn on the rice cooker, it is still hot when she's having it for lunch :-)

Ingredients:
1-2 pieces of chicken or 250gr of chopped chicken fillet
1-2 cups of rice
Chopped vegetables (carrots, beans, anything you like)
Mushrooms (if you like)
1-2 cloves garlic
1 cloves onion
2 cm ginger or 1 tea spoon of ginger powder
1 tea spoon of sesame oil
1 tea spoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper

How to Cook:
1. Boil the chicken or the chicken fillet with garlic and add some salt, pepper and ginger or ginger powder to make a basic bouillon (or chicken stock).
2. Put the rice in the rice cooker and pour the bouillon. Add the vegetable and sesame oil. You can also add extra garlic, onion, pepper, ginger or ginger powder and salt. Turn on the rice cooker.
3. Five minutes before the rice is cooked, put all the vegetables and the mushrooms into the rice cooker.
