Mizoram Bamboo Shoot Rice Mizo One Pot Aromatic

Method

1. 1

   Wash rice until clear.

2. 2

   In a heavy pot with a lid, combine raw rice, sliced bamboo shoot and cubed pork.

3. 3

   Add crushed garlic, grated ginger, slit green chillies, turmeric and salt.

4. 4

   Add 3.5 cups water. Bring to a boil on medium-high. Stir once.

5. 5

   Reduce to the lowest heat. Cover tightly.

6. 6

   Cook 20 to 22 minutes without lifting the lid.

7. 7

   Turn off heat. Rest covered 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Fluff gently — the pork will have cooked through and the bamboo will have flavoured the rice throughout.

9. 9

   The rice should have absorbed some of the bamboo-pork flavour.

10. 10

    Garnish with spring onion. Serve as a complete one-pot meal.
