Step 4: Serve with hot rice…
Kadazandusun signature dish: bosou served with hot rice.
There you go! A simple 4-step cooking a Kadazandusun "super" dish - bosou!

Step 2: Fry ‘em
Fry the onion with the white chillies. You dont have to put much seasonings here as the bosou by itself should already by quite tasty, naturally.
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
white chillies
garlic
red onions

The celebration
