Stewed Pork Cabbage Rice (Rice Cooker)

This dish is inspired by the very popular stewed pork beehoon, and my mom. My mom used to make a rice cooker stewed pork belly rice that was very similar. She basically dumped in 2-3 cans of stewed pork belly and allowed the rice to cook in the gravy and fats. It was yummy, but also it can be pretty greasy due to the fats from the belly, gravy, and the final piece of butter she throws in just for that buttery aroma.

Not that this dish is all that healthy, but it sure is convenient. I added a few more items for a more balanced and fragrant outcome, and took out as much fats I could from the pork chops to make it lighter. If you do not mind the extra calories, the tbsp of butter at the end gives the dish an extra fragrant finish.

Vegetarian? Switch the stewed pork for canned mocked duck meat, and replace chicken stock with vegetable stock. It works the same. 🙂
