Whole Tomato Rice 整个番茄饭

I didn't know this popular Whole tomato rice until I read an article that published in a Chinese newspaper recently. Soon I returned from US trip, I immediately cooked this tomato rice since I was still recovering from jet lag, so this easy recipe just come in perfect timing. At the same time, I can also try out the new Le Creuset round French oven that I brought back from NYC.



 
After I shared this recipe in my Instagram account, I was thinking not to post it here. But my little son Desmond requested me to share it here, so next time his wife is able to retrieve recipe from my blog, hahaha..

 
I cooked a bit luxury version, added chicken and broccoli.
You can also use easy way to cook this rice by using a rice cooker.


Simply mix it up, then you are able to enjoy this yummy one pot rice .



Whole Tomato Rice 整个番茄饭

2 cups water
1 whole tomato

1tsp salt
 pepper
 2tsp olive oil

Other ingredients
1 chicken thigh (~280g), cubed (marinate with 1tsp Japanese light soy sauce, 1tsp mirin, 1tsp sake and 1/4tsp salt for an hour)
1tbsp butter
70g broccoli
½ onion, chopped

Method

 1. Add washed rice in the rice cooker, add water, salt, pepper and olive oil

 2. Slice a shallow "X" in the bottom of tomato, place it in the centre of the pot.

 3. Place other ingredients (as per your choice) in the pot. Cover and press the button to start to cook.

 4. If you are using a cast iron, cook over lowest heat for 25mins (try not to open the cover during cooking) then turned off the heat, warm for another 10 mins( do not open the cover).

 5. When rice is done, toss the rice and cooked tomato, then serve warm or cold.

  4. How much did the French oven pot cost? I only heard of Dutch oven but not French oven. Then I google it out, those mentioned in modern cooking show as Dutch oven are actually French oven...

    This brand is very expensive in Malaysia. I envy your oversea trips, can buy a lot of fancy cooking utensils.
