Simmered Long Bean Rice

At times when the lazy bugs attacked me, I will cook this for my family. Easier, faster and less washing involved. This savoury rice are always my family's favourite. Just add in any ingredients of our choice. One of my family favourite are Yam Rice, Roasted Pork with Mustard Cabbage and Long Bean Rice.

Simmered Long Bean Rice Recipe

(A)

350g rice (wash, drained well) - I use Thai Fragrant Rice
600 ml water - *it depends to the type of rice we use*
1 tbsp chopped shallots

(B)

2 chicken drumsticks with thigh (skinned, cut into bite size)

200g long bean (cut into 2 inch or diced )
1 stalk chinese sausage (sliced or diced )
30g dried shirmps (chopped)


Marinade:

1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp "Shaoxing" cooking wine
salt to taste


For Garnishing:

some fried shallots
1 stalk spring onion

Method:

• Marinate chicken with the marinade ingredients for at least 2-3 hours.
• Heat up 2 tbsp oil, saute chopped shallots until fragrant. Add in entire ingredient (B), stir-fry briskly until aromatic.
• Add in rice and toss well. Remove, transfer to the electric rice cooker, pour in water. Cover and cook until the long bean rice is cooked through.
• Garnish it with fried shallots and spring onions. Serve warm.

*Note: Becareful when adding water to cook the rice. Add enough water for cooking rice, you can measure it before frying the rice. Too less or too much water will end up uncooked rice or the rice is too sticky.


HAVE A NICE DAY!!
