• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice wine
• Sesame oil
• Pepper

Method

1) Marinade the chicken thighs with Seasonings (A) and leave for an hour.
2) When the rice is half-cooked, add the chinese sausage and chicken thighs
3) Add some sesame oil and 1 tbsp dark soy sauce and mix well before serving.
