How to make Danbo shinkafa

Preparing the Rice

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

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

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

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