A delicious and flavorful rice dish made with long beans, dried shrimp, meat, and seasonings is an easy and convenient weeknight meal and can easily feed a big crowd. The recipe can be made with an Instant pot multicooker or rice cooker.

EQUIPMENT

• Instant Pot
• Rice Cooker

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups Jasmine rice using the rice cooker cup to measure the rice
• 2 Tbsp cooking oil
• 250 gr pork belly cut into bite-size. see notes 1
• 100 gr pork shoulder cut into bite-size
• 2 links Chinese sausage optional, cut into slices
• 50 gr dried shrimp soak in warm water for 10 minutes
• 350 gr long beans cut into 2-inch pieces
• 100 gr shallots peeled and finely chopped
• 5 cloves garlic finely minced
• 3 cups water using the same rice cooker cup to measure water. See notes 2

SEASONINGS:

• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS

• Wash the rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain off water completely
• Mix all the ingredients for seasonings and set aside

COOKING WITH A RICE COOKER:

• Preheat a large work or skillet. Add cooking oil. Saute shallots until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and dried shrimp and stir fry for another 1 minute. Add meat and stir fry until they turn color. Add rice, seasonings, and long beans. Stir to mix everything until combined. Turn off the heat
• Transfer to a rice cooker. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Make sure everything is submerged in the water. Turn on the rice cooker. I use my rice cooker "white rice" function. When it's done cooking, wait 10 minutes then fluff the rice. Proceed to serving

COOKING WITH INSTANT POT:

• Press saute. When it says "hot", add cooking oil. Saute shallots until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and dried shrimp and stir fry for another 1 minute. Add meat and stir fry until they turn color. Add rice, seasonings, and long beans. Stir to mix everything until combined. Turn off saute mode
• Pour in the water and stir to combine. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any bits that stick to the pot so it won't trigger the "burn" alert by IP later. Make sure everything is submerged in the water. Close the lid and turn the pressure release valve to sealing. Press "pressure cooker" and make sure it's on "high pressure". Set the timer to 5 minutes. Then do a natural release. Carefully unlock the lid and fluff the rice with a rice paddle

SERVING:

• Garnish the rice with some fried shallots and fresh cilantro leaves if you like. Serve immediately
