Scale
- 1/2 pound boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing cooking wine
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 clove)
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2–3 links Chinese sausage (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon oil (for the pot)

- 2 pieces gai lan (stems and leafy parts separated)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions
- Slice the chicken into 1/4-inch thick strips and transfer to a bowl. Add soy sauce, cornstarch, cooking wine, garlic, ginger, and white pepper. Marinate for 40 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink, then remove from the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium, add sliced Chinese sausages and cook for 1 minute until golden brown. Remove sausages and pour leftover oil into the clay pot, adding another tablespoon of oil.
- Bring a pot of water to boil, add salt and sesame oil. Cook gai lan stems for 10 seconds, add leaves and cook for another 10 seconds. Rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until dissolved.
- In the clay pot, spread the warm cooked rice evenly, layering on chicken, sausages, and gai lan.
- Cook the clay pot over medium-high heat for 1 minute, then reduce to medium-low, cooking for 10-15 minutes until the bottom is crispy. Pour the sauce mixture over the rice and enjoy.
