20 Min Medicinal Rice Bowl for the Stomach
Alice Sun•Sep 30, 2022
As a Libra September baby, it’s not shocker that fall is my FAVORITE season. Apple cider, pumpkin pie, warm spices, and soup season — what’s not to love?! I’m going to miss the change of the seasons when I move to LA next year so I’m trying to take advantage of all the fall traditions, especially when it comes to cooking.

Instructions
Wash the rice (½ cup) until water runs clear and leave it soaking in water while you prep the rest of the ingredients
Soak the mushrooms (3) in boiling water for at least 10 mins
Cut the sausage (2 links) into thin rounds, the squash (¼ cup) into small chunks, and you’re ready to assemble
Pour out the water the rice (½ cup) was soaking in and mix in the mushrooms (3), sausage (2 links), squash (¼ cup) and chestnuts (5–6) into the rice
Add 1/4 cup of the mushroom soaking liquid and add enough water to cover everything
Finish off with a drizzle of sesame oil (1 tsp) and bring to a boil on the stove
Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat down to medium and cook for 10 min
Serve and enjoy with kimchi!
