Rice with Chinese Sausage and Greens

This dish has been our go to on many nights when we didn't have the energy to cook anything remotely complicated. It's a true one-pot dish, and takes barely more time to make than a pot of plain rice.

It is very easy to experiment with; the "basic" version just uses the rice, sausages, greens, and soy sauce, and you can add different greens or other seasonings or the like as you see fit. The version recorded here is the most recent one we made.

Ingredients

  • 350mL long grain white or brown rice
  • 1 package chinese sausages
  • 1 package bok choi or head of broccolli (or other greens as you see fit; spinach, mustard greens, or black kale would probably work alright too)
  • 1 large onion
  • dark soy sauce
  • roasted garlic paste
  • black pepper
Procedure
  1. Put the rice and an appropriate amount of water in your rice cooker or pressure cooker.
  2. Slice the sausages into rounds and toss those in.
  3. Add the greens.
  4. Chop the onion and add that, too.
  5. Add a generous splash of soy sauce, a tablespoon or so of roasted garlic paste and some black pepper.
  6. Cook using the same settings you'd use to cook plain rice.

  1. If using a pressure cooker, adding the bok choi at the start will result it being quite overcooked by the time the process is complete. Once the rice is cooked, though, there isn't enough heat to cook the bok choi. It's best to steam it gently on the stovetop while the rice is cooking and add it at the end.
