Cut some chicken into very fine strips. Pour some dark soy, groud white pepper, and rice wine or balsamic vinegar over it. Mix it around until the chicken is covered.

Cut some chinese cabbage in fine strips.

Place your rice in the cooker as you normally do.
Place the cabbage on top of the rice / water, and place the chicken in a thin layer on top.

Start the rice cooker.

When your rice is done, everything else is cooked, and you'll have one of the most simple, tasty meals you can make ;)
