Rice is an essential part of every meal consumed in Asia but rather than just steamed rice, Chef Yan is determined to give it a twist. A family heirloom recipe, he kick starts the episode with his Chicken and Mushroom Rice, a recipe handed down from his grandmother to his mother. Chef Yan then whips up a Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice, a perfect way to use leftover rice. Chef Yan then raises the humble congee to banquet level with the addition of baby oysters, scallops and shitake mushrooms.
