Stir Fried French Bean with Chinese Sausage

I love Chinese Sausage 臘腸 merely because it tastes so good that you could just pair it with a bowl of plain rice. I like exploring new recipes, so this round I had experimented Chinese sausage with french bean and it turned out perfectly nice. I love it, hope you will love it too. This sausage has been processed and preserved so it could lock it's taste and essence for very long period of time. Chinese family usually eat it during Chinese New Year or winter. All you need is a good Chinese Sausage and french bean, nothing more than that.

First, I blanch the Chinese sausage with hot water for 10 seconds, just to peel off the outer layer. Then cut the sausages and beans in long around 5cm per piece. When you got everything ready, preheat the frying wok with a few drops of cooking oil, put in sausages, stir fry till you smell the fragrant of the sausages (similar to BBQ dried meat / 肉干). You will realised that the sausages will release it's oil and lard so this is the time you add in the french beans. Stir well, and add salt to taste.

Claypot Chicken Rice

Claypot Chicken Rice is nothing new among the Chinese community. It's an all time favourite, I would said. People will go for it lunch and dinner. Like me, I like to have this Claypot goddess at home. Make your own claypot chicken rice with the least hassle and mess. Do you remember the the charcoal stoves for cooking claypot rice? Now when everyone is looking for the simplest way to achieve delicious food and I hope to share my recipe with you all.

All you need is to invest in a good claypot. I bought this at a local kitchen ware store for less than RM40 and it can last you for sometimes.Then, cook the rice in this claypot and another wok/skitlet cook the chicken. After the Semi cook, set aside. Put the chicken on top of the rice and cook them together for another 10 minutes.
