Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Rinse the rice and slice the lap cheong thinly on the diagonal.
-
Roughly chop the bok choy.
-
Warm the oil in the rice cooker bowl (or a heavy pot) and stir-fry the lap cheong and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the rice, water and soy sauce, stir once, and start the rice cooker on its normal cycle (or bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes on the stove).
-
Fold the chopped bok choy into the rice for the final 5 minutes of cooking, so it steams through without turning mushy.
-
Fluff with a fork and serve straight from the pot.
