this simple one pot dish is very easy to prepare yet very healthy! the only problem is that, it is not easy to get the Chinese Mustard Green in the supermarket. I’ve only bought it twice but both times were from the wet market. This Vegetable is usually used to cook Chai Boey/Assam Veg/Choi Kiok with lots of roast meat (usually leftovers). Since i still have quite a bit of the vegetable left, i may consider cooking it tomorrow! 🙂 but i need to get lots and lots of roast meat.
anyway, back to today’s flavorful rice. The ingredients needed are as follows:
Chinese Mustard Green
Dried Shrimps
Sliced pork ( martinate with corn starch, soy sauce, shao xing rice wine, pepper and sesame oil for at least 15 min)
Dried Shiitake Mushroom (soak in the water to soften it, and slice them up)
onion/shallots
rice grains
Steps:
Heat up the wok with some oil, sautee the onions till fragrant, add in dried shrimps, mushrooms, pork. Fry till they turn slighly brown. Then add in the washed rice grains. Fry it for 3-5min then pour everything into a rice cooker with water ( slightly less than the normal water you use to cook plain rice), then turn on “cook” mode.
When the rice is cooked, stir in all the Chinese Mustard Green, add in seasonings( soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil). To increase the flavor, you may replace slice fresh meat with roasted pork and add in Chinese Sausages. My version is a healthy version as it will be my 2 years old’s dinner later. So, no roasted meat, no sausages, minimum amount of seasonings too.
How do you like my simple one pot rice? Alternatively, you may replace the Chinese Mustard Greens with Taro/Yam or Long Beans. The steps of preparing will differ a little bit but it is super easy.
Happy Monday!
