A delicious Cured Meat and Chrysanthemum Greens Rice with Air-Dried Beef, Shiitake, Dried Scallops, and Taro recipe.

Soak dried scallops in warm water until softened; soak shiitake mushrooms until plumped, then slice. Dice the taro into small cubes.



Heat oil in a wok and stir-fry the cured pork belly until the fat renders and turns slightly translucent.

Add the air-dried beef, shiitake mushrooms, and dried scallops. Stir-fry until fragrant.


Add the washed rice and toss everything together, then transfer to a rice cooker. Add water (slightly less than usual since the greens will release moisture) and start cooking.

When the rice is nearly done (about 5 minutes before the cooker switches to warm), add the chopped chrysanthemum greens on top.


Open the lid, drizzle with a splash of light soy sauce, and fluff everything together with a rice paddle.
Serve hot. Each spoonful is packed with savory cured meat, earthy mushrooms, tender taro, and fragrant greens.
