Ingredients
- 500 g sticky rice
- 400 g pork ribs
- 2 potatoes
- 1 Chinese sausage
- 50 g green peas
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- to taste hot water
Instructions
- 1Soak and Clean Pork Ribs
Submerge the pork ribs in a bowl of fresh water to draw out excess blood and impurities prior to cooking.
Tip: Changing the water once or twice helps clean the ribs more thoroughly. - 2Dice the Potatoes
Cut the peeled raw potatoes into uniform bite-sized cubes on a cutting board so they cook evenly with the other ingredients.
Tip: Keep the potato cubes evenly sized so they cook at the same rate as the other ingredients. - 3Cut the sausage
Slice the sausage into small pieces on the wooden cutting board to add extra savory flavor to the dish.
Tip: Cutting them into bite-sized pieces allows the flavors to meld better with the sticky rice. - 4Sear the Pork Ribs
Transfer the blanched pork ribs into a hot wok with oil and sear them until they become fragrant and lightly browned.
Tip: Ensure the wok is hot before adding the ribs to develop a nice sear. - 5Season with Soy Sauce
Pour light soy sauce over the sizzling pork ribs in the wok to build a rich savory flavor and deep color.
Tip: Add the soy sauce directly along the hot edges of the wok to enhance the aroma. - 6Toss in Diced Potatoes
Add the freshly diced raw potatoes into the wok with the seasoned pork ribs and stir continuously to coat them.
Tip: Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the savory sauce mixture. - 7Add Peas and Sausage
Toss in the green peas and sliced sausages with the pork ribs and potatoes to incorporate vibrant colors and savory elements.
Tip: Add vegetables that cook quickly later in the process to maintain their vibrant color and texture. - 8Incorporate Sticky Rice
Pour the well-drained, soaked sticky rice directly into the wok with the seasoned mixture, combining everything thoroughly before transferring to the cooker.
Tip: Ensure the sticky rice is well-drained of excess water before adding it to the wok so it absorbs the savory flavors properly.
