Clay pot chicken

Cut 500g of chicken thigh fillets into mouthful sized bits. Coat in a
few tablespoons of soy sauce and Xiaoxing wine (or dry sherry) and let
sit while you cut everything else up.
Slice 2 leeks and ~500g of kumara (orange sweet potato). Can mix and
match with carrot or pumpkin if you like. Regular potato works OK, but
you'll need a longer cooking time (slice it quite thin to speed it
up).
Heat some peanut oil in a clay pot (you can use any pot, but then it
wouldn't be clay pot chicken, would it?), and soften the leeks. You
can brown the chicken a bit if you like (not necessary) and then throw
in the chicken & veggies, along with 1/2 cup chicken stock and 2
teaspoons sesame oil. Put the lid on the pot and cook for ~20 minutes,
until the chicken is done and the sweet potato is tender. You can
thicken the sauce with cornflour if you want.
Serve straight, or with rice.

I made 'flopovers' with my kids this morning.  You take canned biscuits, roll them out flat (use a little flour to keep them from sticking to the rolling pin).  Then put a spoon of butter and jelly in the middle, fold it over and close the edges with a cork (keep the fork tips wet to keep it from sticking) then fry in a pan of cooking oil, when one side is golden brown flip (flop) it over and cook the other side.  My grandmother used to make these for me when I was over there (no, I take it back she still does I'm just living a few states away now so I don't get home as much) and I have passed the recipe on to my kids.

Also when you're done if you keep the oil in the pan you can take another can of biscuits, cut them into eighths, fry them up, then put into a bag with cinnamon and sugar while they're still warm for some homemade donut holes.
