Clay Pot Rice

Spiced Rice With Pork ( koa Mu Ap Gapi Mor Din )

Ingredients

50 gms Fragrant Rice
50 gms Red Rice
100 gms Pork Three Layers (Mat+Fat+Skin)
1/2 Teaspoon With Pepper
5 gms Dried Chillies
2 Teaspoons Shrimp Paste
6 Garlic Cloves
6 Small Red Onions
4 Tablespoons Coconut Milk
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
1 Tablespoon Oil

Preparation
1. Slice the pork and fry till browned and cooked through.
2. Put all the ingredients except the two types of rice, together in a blender and blend until fine.
3. Add this to the pork and fry this for 10 seconds just to release some flavour, add the rice and mix together, then transfer the whole thing to the pot.
4. Pour enough water into the pot so that there is 2cms layer of water above the rice.
5. Cover and put on the stove until the rice has absorbed all the water and cooked through. The water should boil, the rice will cook through and all the flavours be absorbed by the rice.
6. Obviously if you're using a rice cooker, you transfer the ingredients into the cooker instead of the pot, add the water and let the rice cooker do it's job.

Salmon Dim Sum ( Kanoom Geeb Salmon )

A very non-traditional dim sum recipe. This one is made from pork and shrimp stuffing and topped off with small pieces of salmon. I find it's easier to form it into shape if it's made in these tiny little pots, but you can also form it by hand. Remember to grease the pots, or you won't be able to remove the dim sum at the end.

Ingredients
60 gms Shrimp
220 gms Pork Mince with Fat
5 Garlic Cloves
4 Coriander Roots
1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper
3 Tablespoon Light Soya Sauce
2 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 Tablespoon Corn Flour
2 Tablespoon Wheat Flour
30 ml Water
Slices of Salmon
Dim Sum Pastry

Preparation
1. Mix all the ingredients together, except for the salmon and pastry.
2. Blend to a smooth mixture.
3. Grease the small dishes.
4. Spoon the ingredients into the pastry, fold up the edges and place in small dishes like the ones in the photograph.
5. Lay 3 tiny slices of salmon on top.
6. Steam for 10 minutes.
7. Serve with Dim-Sum dipping sauce
