Cheese Sausage, Ham and Mushroom Baked Rice

I have been thinking what should I cook for dinner tonight and thinking to cook one dish meal so decided to do baked rice.  By chance, manage to find a few baked rice recipe from noobcook so I decided to try her recipe.

Recipe adapted from http://www.noobcook.com with amendment to proportion for my family of 2 adults and 2 kids

Ingredients

- 1 cups uncooked rice 

- Water to cook rice

- 3garlic cloves

- 2 to 3 slices of ham, cut to small squares

- some shitake mushroom

- some cheese sausage

- 15g butter (or use olive oil for healthier version)

- generous tablespoons mushroom soup (use Campbell’s, straight from the can – no need to mix with water or cook)

- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

- Salt & Pepper

Directions

1. Wash and rinse uncooked rice until water runs clear.

2. In a heated wok or saucepan, melt the butter. Add the washed rice, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.

3. Wait for the rice mixture to cool, then transfer to a rice cooker. Add the garlic cloves. Add water to cook rice (I use slightly more than 1 cups of water – adjust the water amount according to your cooker).

4. When the rice is cooked, stir in sliced ham, shitake mushroom and cheese sausage. Portion out the rice into oven-safe baking dishes (you can also use disposable aluminium tray) until about half the depth of the dish.

5. Smear some mushroom soup sauce on top of the rice, and topped with a layer of shredded mozzarella.

6. Baked in a pre-heated oven at 200C (392F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the cheese has melted and is very slightly browned.
