Fragrant Oriental Rice Recipe

2 bowls fragrant rice

1 piece streaky pork, cut into small bite-sized pieces

1 white cabbage, washed and cut into pieces

2 tablespoons dried shrimps, cleaned and drained

3 dried Shiitake mushrooms, soaked and sliced

1 carrot, julienned

4 cloves shallot, peeled and sliced

2 red chilies, removed seeds and cut into strips

Cooking oil

Seasonings:

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

Pepper and salt to taste

Method:

Wash rice and soak for about 5 minutes.  Heat a little oil in wok to fry streaky pork.  When the pork releases oil and turns slightly brown, add shallots, dried shrimps and Shiitake mushrooms, stir-fry until aromatic.  Add in soy sauce, fish sauce, salt and pepper.  Add carrot and white cabbage, stir-fry over high heat.  Then add rice and stir-fry again until aromatic.  Pour in 2 bowls of water, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes (the amount of water should be equivalent to the quantity of rice).  Then continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.  When ready, off heat and leave covered for 5-10 minutes before serving.
