Recipe for Moon Fan from Mauritius

Moon fan is Mauritian comfort food. What's not to love about chicken and rice. And it's essentially a one pot dish. While browsing recipes online and on Youtube I notice that there are many different ways to make this dish. This is the way I remember it. 3 chicken thighs or legs, bone in, cut into 2" pieces. (Use boneless if you want. Don't use white meat, it will become too dry in this recipe) About 8 dried Chinese mushrooms 1 medium onion peeled and diced 3 Chinese sausages 2 cups white Jasmine rice (or substitute brown rice) ~3 cups of water Chicken bouillon (I use jarred concentrated, you can use cubed) 2 tbsp of soy sauce 1 tbsp of oyster sauce 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp vegetable oil Garnish 2 green onions chopped thinly Handful ciltrano chopped (optional). This is my own variation. My mom and Aunties never added cilantro. Soak the Chinese mushrooms in hot water for at least one hour to rehydrate them, turning a few times to make sure they are completely hydrated. Chop into thin slices. Keep the soaking water to add to the rice later, it adds lots of flavour. Put the chicken pieces in a large mixing bowl. Pour the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the chicken and using your hands or a large spoon, make sure the chicken pieces are well coated. To make the broth for cooking the rice, in a large measuring cup, add the water used to soak the mushrooms and then make up the volume to 3 cups with water. Stir in the chicken bouillon to make up 3 cups, following the manufacturer's instructions. For concentrated, its normally 1 tsp per cup. Heat the vegetable oil in large wok set over high heat. You can also use a large skillet or dutch oven if you don't have a wok. Add the onions and fry for a one minute until they start to become translucent. Add chicken pieces and fry until just brown. Add the mushrooms and the rice. Keep stirring the mixture until the rice is well coated and begins to toast, about 2 minutes. Transfer the entire mixture to a rice cooker. Add the broth. Turn on the rice cooker and let cook. TIP: If you want to make this a one pot meal, instead of a wok use a large dutch oven and instead of transferring the mixture to a rice cooker, add the broth to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and let cook covered for about 25-30 minutes until the rice is cooked through. Don’t peek during this process and do not stir! You can check to see if the rice is done after about 20 minutes. When the rice is cooked, put the Chinese sausages on top and let them steam with the remaining heat for 10 minutes. Remove the sausages and slice thinly. Prior to serving, stir in the chopped green onions, chopped cilantro and sliced Chinese sausages. Enjoy!
