Ingredients
- 4 pcs Chinese sausage
- 1 pcs carrot
- 4 pcs dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 pcs green onion
- 2 rice

Steps
-
Rinse the sausage under running water, slice it diagonally into thin pieces. Dice the carrot, slice the dried shiitake (removing the tough stems) and finely chop the green onion.

Rinse the rice under running water, drain. Transfer the rice to a pot, add water and cook over high heat uncovered until the water evaporates to the level of the rice.

Reduce the heat to low, place the sausage, carrot and shiitake on top of the rice. Cover with a lid and steam for 10 minutes.
-
Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest under the lid for another 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, sesame oil and ground white pepper.
