To Cook:

I adapted this from Samm’s. From the looks of it, the recipe is easy to prepare and fast to cook too!

- Cut up 1 chicken drumstick in small chunks, marinate with oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pinch of salt and pepper, and dark soy sauce.
- Sliced up 2 chinese sausages
- Mushrooms of your liking
- Cut up long beans into small bits
- Rice
- Water

Wash the rice and add water into the rice cooker, dump in everything else and start cooking.

And we are done!
