CONFIDEN-XUENLI YOURS: My Favourite Easy One-Pot Recipes On TikTok!

As a twenty-something broke bish who loves food, I am constantly looking for homecooked recipes that are both delicious and easy! Yes, I do love food, but ain’t nobody got time to cook every day, not to mention the number of dishes you gotta wash! After many nights of scrolling through TikTok, looking at the most random videos, I found that 70 per cent of the recommended videos on my page are food-related, which made me realize how hungry I am all the time, and that maybe I should listen to the algorithm gods and try to cook them myself!

So here are 5 of my favourite one-pot recipes that I found on TikTok!

Chicken Biryani

If you’re craving some Indian food, this might be just the right recipe for you. It can be cooked using one pot, so you’ll be cooking the rice with the chicken! It is also recommended that you use a deeper and larger pan since you need all those ingredients to fit in one pot! But, if you’re like me and you’re only cooking for one *cries*, you can adjust the measurements depending on your serving size.

Here are the ingredients:

• 3 tbsp ghee/butter
• 2 large onions
• ginger
• garlic
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 tbsp chopped tomato, cook for 5 mins
• Biryani mix
• 2 tbsp of yogurt
• 2 large potato 
• 1/2 kg chicken
• 2 cups of rice
• 300ml boiling water

Tomato Rice

First of all, this is the most colourful dish in this list, which is why it’s one of my favourites! Not only is it easy to make, but it’s also very Instagrammable. The best thing about it is that it can be cooked in 1 pressure cooker or rice cooker!

Here are the ingredients:

• 2 cups rice
• 1.5 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce 
• 1 tomato
• Potatoes
• Carrots
• Peas
• Shiitake mushroom
• Chinese sausage/ regular sausage
• Corn
