I have no idea how long the recipe was buried, nor do I know where it came from. It may have blown over from a neighbor's house or came with our wood delivery in the fall. Nevertheless, I was intrigued.

If you're making this recipe and think to yourself 'how much rice?' 'are we slicing the sausage first?' or 'how much ginger?', you're not alone. To those questions I say, I have no idea, I found this in the yard.
