3 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Chinese Cooking Wine
1/2 tsp Chinese Five-Spice Powder
A dash of pepper

Directions:

• Soak dried Chinese sausages in hot water for 5 minutes - this will help to loosen the casing and so can be easily removed. Sliced thinly. 
   
   
  
• Turn on the pressure cooker and set to Bake Mode for Chicken. Add some cooking oil and saute shallot and garlic, dried shrimps.
   
• Add mushrooms, yam and chicken pieces. Saute for a 3 minutes then add all the seasoning.
   
   
   
  
• Add rice grains and mix well until they are coated with the seasoning. 
  
• Then add water and close the lid securely (valve to Seal position). 
  
• Switch the cooking mode to Rice (KPT 14 minutes). 
  
• After 14 minutes, the pressure cooker will slowly release the pressure automatically (Floater will drop when it is fully depressurize).
• If you cannot wait for it drop automatically, place a damp towel over the valve and wear an oven glove to slowly turn the valve to Vent (Be extra careful when you are doing this!)
• Serve hot with some chopped spring onions and coriander.
