Ingredients

  • 1 cup Two Brooks Farm Delta Belle Long Grain White Rice
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 small slice fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese 5 spice powder
  • Green onion for serving
  • Black sesame seeds for serving
  • Chili crunch for serving
  • Fried egg (optional) for serving

Directions

  1. Measure and wash the rice in a mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
  2. Place the rice in a large pot with the water. Boil at low to medium heat for 30 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, sauces, Shoaxing wine, and all spices.
  4. Simmer on low to medium heat for an additional 45 minutes, stir occasionally and add water if the rice seems too dry. The consistency should be silky like a porridge.
