Sweet Potato and Long Beans Rice Recipe – My Avatar Purple Rice!

This recipe is actually similar to the yam rice that I posted a few months back. I used purple sweet potato to cook this dish and the colour seeps into the rice grain. Gosh, I have been using purple sweet potato in my cooking very often recently, it must have been the Avatar movie after effect on me! LOL! My daughter was a little apprehensive when she saw the purple coloured rice but my son ate a whole plate. It tasted ok to me. So I guess I will need my readers to try it out so I can get a third party opinion.

Ingredients

Rice, 1 ½ cup (serve 4)

Long Beans, 3 pcs, cut into small pieces

Sweet Potato (or yam), 1 pc, cut into cubes

Shallots, 5 pcs, cut into slices

Dried Prawns, 2 table spoons

Chicken Meat (or Pork Belly Meat), 100 gms, cut into small cubes

Oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon

Dark Soya Sauce, 1 teaspoon

Parsley and Spring Onions for garnishing

Heat up wok and put in around 2 table spoons of vegetable oil. Put in the shallots and fry until they turn golden brown. Take out the shallots and put it aside. Put dried prawns and fry for a short while. Add in the chicken meat (or pork belly). Put the rice in the wok and add dark soya sauce. Fry until the rice and dark soya sauce are well mixed. Add salt to taste and oyster sauce. Put in the long beans and sweet potato. Cook the rice in rice cooker or steam it just like cooking normal white rice. Garnish with deep fried shallots, parsley and spring onions before serving.
