This is one of my recent, most favourite one-pot rice recipes. It is a Hokkien recipe where you cook rice with enough ingredients to make it ‘salty’ – hence the term ‘kiam png‘ (literally ‘salty rice’). It is a healthy dish though, as much as it sounds unhealthy. There are vegetables, meat and rice, all to be eaten at the same time. The fragrance is irresistible and the flavours bursting with the different textures from the rice, cabbage, mushrooms, roast pork and shrimps.
Love it! Try it!

Trick:
- I used pressure cooker instead of rice cooker, and therefore reduced the amount of water used to cook the rice. If you are using rice cooker, use about 450ml of water to 300g rice and cook as per the cooker’s instructions and functions.
