Traditional or typical to country/region, or maybe family? Here's the
simplest kind of southern China comfort food:

Lop Cheong Rice Pot

4 links lop cheong (aka Chinese sausage)
2 cups rice

Start rice in a pot. When the water has boiled, steam holes have
appeared, and the water level is at the level of the top surface of
the rice, lay the lop cheong on top. Cover tightly, turn the heat to
its lowest setting and cook for about 17 minutes. Leave covered,
remove from heat and let sit for about 10 minutes. Eat. -aem

One of my favorite sausages. I've used lop cheong in steamed buns and stir
fry, and once in place of chorizo making clams steamed in white wine. Though
a much sweeter sausage, it was darned good.
