Ingredients

1
200 g/7 oz
750 ml/13/4 pints
1/2 bunch

Chinese cabbage
boiled rice
small red pepper
small yellow pepper
leeks
chicken stock
parsley, or to taste
salt
freshly ground black pepper
soy sauce or a spicy sauce, to taste

Method:

1. Trim and wash the Chinese cabbage. If you are going to use a bamboo steamer, cover the bottom with a few Chinese cabbage leaves so that the rice does not fall through the bamboo mesh.

2. Cut the rest of the cabbage into strips 1-2 cm/1/2-1 in across and mix with the rice.

3. Trim and wash the pepper, then cut into thin strips and mix with the rice. Trim the leeks, slit lengthways and wash thoroughly. Cut into pieces about 5 cm/2 in in length, then cut these into narrow strips and mix with the rice.

4. Season the rice with salt and pepper and place on the bed of cabbage leaves or on a shallow, heat-resistant plate.

5. Bring the stock to the boil in the wok. Put the steamer in the wok and cover with the lid. Steam the rice about 15 minutes.

6. Wash and dry the parsley. Chopped coarsely and scatter over the cooked rice. Sprinkle soy sauce over the rice on the table.
