How to make Danbo shinkafa

Preparing the Rice

  1. Step 1

    Finely blend the rice in a blender, but do not blend it into a powder. Wash the rice thoroughly.

  2. Step 2

    Place the rice in a steaming pot. Add salt and vegetable oil, stir, and cover. If you don't have a steaming pot, boil water in a pot, place a sieve over the boiling water, add the rice, salt, and oil, mix, and cover. Stir every 10 minutes.

Preparing the Vegetables and Fish

  1. Step 1

    While the rice is cooking, cut the bell peppers, onion, garlic, ginger, and meat (if using).

  2. Step 2

    In another pot, sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic in cooking oil. Add the smoked fish, the rest of the ingredients, bouillon cubes, and a pinch of salt. Stir the vegetables in the pot and cover for a little bit.

Combining and Serving

  1. Step 1

    Once the rice is almost cooked, transfer it into the pot with the cooking vegetables and mix everything together.

  2. Step 2

    Cover for a bit and then serve. If the rice is not fully cooked, add a little water, cover, and keep stirring until fully cooked.

  3. Step 3

    If using eggs, fry them in a separate pan and serve with the cooked rice.
