Extra Filling Steamed Rice With Pork Topping

My darling husband asked me to make steamed rice with pork topping. It is something I have never cooked in the past. I rely on take-outs whenever we crave Chinese food, and I thought about going to our favourite local diner but decided against it in the end. However, since my family loves this Steamed Rice With Pork Topping dish so much, they might learn how to cook it. Luckily I found a thread in a forum where they discussed how to cook the dish the way our favourite Chinese diner makes it.

Steamed Rice Instructions

• Wash the rice and place it in a cooking pot.
• Add the same amount of water as the rice.
• Cook over medium heat.
• Lower the heat once it has boiled; let it simmer until the rice has absorbed all the water.

Pork Topping Instructions

• Heat cooking oil in a pan.
• Saute garlic until fragrant, add onions and cook until translucent.
• Add the pork and cook until brown.
• Add the green peas.
• Add salt and pepper (we skipped the pepper because the kids don’t like it).
• Mix the cornstarch in 1/2 litre of cold water (add more cornstarch for a thicker consistency).
• Add the mixture into the pan.
• Stir and let it boil.
• Add sugar and stir occasionally.
• Add the soy sauce (you can adjust the amount according to your taste).
• Simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Add sesame oil and chilli sauce, then mix well (we skipped the chilli sauce).
• Remove from heat.
