Place rice in a colander and rinse under cold water. In a large pot

excess water from the pot. Return the pot to the heat, and cook for
20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, uncover and fluff with a
fork. Keep it warm and fluff it again right before serving.

In a small sauce pan, place the dried shrimp and cold water, and

under cold water. Dice the shrimp and place in a bowl and set aside.

In a dry saute pan brown the Chinese sausage until brown on all sides.
Remove and place in the bowl with the shrimp. In the same saute pan,
heat the 2 teaspoons oil and fry the pork chops until brown on both
sides. Remove the pork chops and place in the bowl with the shrimp.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok over a high
flame. Add the scallions and quickly cook for 3 minutes or until
softened. Then add the pork, shrimp, and sausage, and fry for 1
minute, stirring well, then add the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and
black pepper. Continue cooking for 3 minutes. Meanwhile re-fluff your
rice and place in a large bowl. Add the meat mixture to the rice,
and, mix together. Press this mixture into a 8' round baking pan. It
can then be turned out onto a serving platter and cut into 8 wedges.
