Cabbage Rice
Heh, just another yummy one-dish meal I learnt from my mum :D
Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 cups rice, washed
4 cabbage leaves, shredded thinly
200g pork belly (aka “sam cham bak“, 3-layered pork, 3层肉)
3 tbsp dried shrimps (aka “Hei Bi” )
4 dried scallops 1 tbsp chopped garlic
water (to cook rice)
1 tsp salt
Directions
1. Soak Hei Bi in water until soft. Discard water. Chop the soaked Hei Bi to fine bits, or use a grinder.
2. Soak dried scallops in water till soft. Discard water. Use fingers to separate scallop to thin shreds.
3. Slice the pork belly to thin slices, then cut each slice to thin shreds. If you want less fat, cut off the entire top layer of fat before slicing.
4. Heat wok over medium fire, add sliced pork to wok and stir fry till cooked.
5. Take out the cooked pork and set aside. Using the oil from cooking the pork belly (add more if needed), add the garlic and chopped Hei Bi, dried scallop and fry till the Hei Bi is browned.
6. Return the previously cooked pork belly back to the wok and add salt, the washed rice and shredded cabbage. Mix till even.
7. Transfer contents of the wok to a rice cooker, add water (ratio of about 1 1/2 cups of water with every 1 cup of rice – this will vary with different cookers). Stir evenly before cooking :)

This dish is so simple and heart warming. I guess great when one needs to whip something up fast. Dried shrimp and scallops added to give a rich flavor to the the rice . Too bad I can’t eat shrimp or scallops,but I can imagine what it might taste like. Haha.
I learnt this dish from my mum too! And it’s so versatile, we can practically add what we like in there. I took some pics too but haven’t post yet. lol
Ya ya…I like cabbage rice too! I cook mine with leftover char siew. :P
my grandmother always cooked this dish when i was living with her. im really missing this cabbage rice … the only difference is she added chinese mushrooms instead of scallops and beansprouts … thanks for reminding me the sweet old days i spent with my grandmother …
Joyce, didally, tigerfish: thank you for your comments ^^
Gwen: Thank you for your sweet comment! I’m glad that this recipe of mine bring back good memories for you… And I think that Chinese mushrooms are a great addition to this dish and I might try it out next time :)
I’ve never had cabbage rice, but it certainly looks like my kind of thing! :)
Thank Y :)
Interesting how it seems that different cultures combine the same types of food.
I grew up in Moscow and my mom often made a concoction of rice, cabbage, ground beef, carrots and onions: also all in one pot :)
My mom made something similar but the rice was cooked separate from the other ingredients. Your photos sure brings back memories. :-)
Olga:: Interesting for me to learn that too. Your mom’s concoction sounds fantastic! ;)
Chow Vegan:: hehe looks our mums are good at this one dish rice meal :)
I learnt this dish from my mom too ;) Are you hokkien?
Used to cook it like you do (with mushrooms added but no dried scallops) but nowadays i like to substitute the pork with roasted park (烧肉）. The smell from the rice cooker as the rice cooks really makes me drool!
It’s a good idea to use roasted pork, the aroma is really good. Sometimes I use leftover 烧肉/char siu for fried rice and it’s so yummy.
:up: its really yummy dish that i urge every1 shld try it especially u r hokkien. i like my cabbage rice with lots of cabbage, hei bi, roasted pork n not forgetting DRIED OYSTER. its really ez.. fry some shallot in rice cooker, damp everything in n add water. a bit of light soy n pepper for seasoning. :up:
Hi henry, I have never added dried oysters, I am going to try it next time. Thanks for sharing!

“6. Return the previously cooked wok back to the wok and add salt, the washed rice and shredded cabbage. Mix till even.”
I think u meant putting the pork belly back to the wok w the washed rice?
I tried the oyster sauce boy choy today n hubby loved it! Super yum n healthy! So thanks again for making me a better cook than i dreamed i could ever be.
Hi Samantha, thanks for your kind words, glad your hubby like the veg.
