Fragrance Yam Rice

I won't miss trying out any easy to prepare meal which comes handy at any one time and can be cooked for a small portion.  Such one-pot-dish fits in well for my lunch which I only need to cook for myself and another extra portion for my mum to try and enjoy. This yummylicious one-pot dish is full of fragrance and is a dish to try, adapt and add into my home-cooked dish list.  Hope you all give it a try too....

Ingredients: (serves 2)
3/4 cup long grain rice (washed and set aside)

1/2 yam (peeled and cubed)
1/3 cup pork belly (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp dried shrimps (soaked and drained)
3 dried mushrooms (soaked and sliced)
2 shallot (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 tbsp pork fat (not in the picture)

Seasonings:
3/4 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 tbsp light soy sauce
Drizzle of dark soya sauce (amount depends on the colour which you prefer)
1 tsp white grounded pepper
Dash of salt (taste)
Dash of msg

Methods:

1. In a medium heated wok add in the pork fat to obtain the lard and remove the crackling.
2. Add in shallots and dried prawns, stir fry for about 1 minute, then add in mushrooms and pork belly and continue to fry until fragrant.
3. Add in rice, give it a mix and all the seasonings, stir to combine and finally add in the yam.  
4. Taste for correct seasoning and colour of your preference.  Drizzle a bit more dark soya sauce if you prefer a darker colour.
5. Transfer the rice to the rice cooker, add water. (the amount of water very much depends on the type of rice you use, however for some rice you need to reduce the water for this cooking as the rice has already absorb some of the water during the stir-frying process). Give it a stir and place it to cook in the rice cooker.
