Basmati Rice with Chinese Sausage and Shiitake Mushrooms.

Munchkin.with.BagI found a 20lb bag of Basmati rice in Belize City and I grabbed it off the shelf quick-smart!  Usually you can only find Basmati rice in pathetic little 400g (not even a full lb!) packets and it is enough for one measly meal.

So, today I cooked Basmati rice with Chinese Sausages and Shiitake mushrooms…you could say that it was Chinese-style.

Basmati rice has a lovely fragrant aroma.  It is so much better than the ubiquitous long grain rice which is found in Belize; I find this rice really gummy and starchy.

I will have more Basmati rice recipes in the future since I have to work through a 20lb bag!

Chinese Sausage and Corn Cous Cous.

Food.MunchkinAs a continuation of the Corn Cous Cous theme, which I wrote about 2 days ago, here is another recipe.

This is a variation of the original recipe; this one contains Chinese Sausage and Chinese Cabbage.  I suppose you could call this one “Corn Cous Cous – Chinese Style”.

If you are in Belize, you need to befriend a Chinese person to find Chinese sausage.  I have no idea where they get it from but this is a favourite one for a local chinese person to stash in their personal pantry.  For everybody else, you can probably get it at your Chinese Grocery.
