Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice, is commonly found in many Asian cuisines. It has a soft but distinctive chewy texture allowing it to retain the flavours of ingredients cooked together with it. It does not contain gluten, making it a safe and perfect option for gluten-free diets.
I would normally make a huge portion and keep the rest in a tightly-sealed container in the refrigerator for reheat later. It stores pretty well and does not turn bad like normal rice do, thus making it perfect for takeaway to school or office eaten either piping hot or in room temperature.
So when you feel like having a quick meal or snack, it's readily available for you anytime, but trust me, it taste so good that you would've finished chowing down everything before it goes into the fridge!
Ingredients:
2 cups of Glutinous Rice (Pre-soaked overnight or according to package directions)
Minced pork (optional, can also substitute with ground chicken or turkey)
3 Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
1 tbsp of Dried Small Shrimps
5 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
3 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
2 tsp Sesame Oil
1 Egg (optional, thinly sliced pre-made omelette)
Instructions:
Heat the pan or wok with a gentle amount of cooking oil and stir-fry the dried shrimps until it turns golden brown before adding in the minced pork. Continue to stir-fry under medium heat and then add in the Shiitake mushrooms and finally the pre-soaked glutinous rice. Add all the sauces, combine everything well and 1/4 cup of water to prevent it from getting too dry.
Transfer everything into a metal plate and spread evenly. Steam for about 30 minutes. Garnish with red pepper flakes, omelette strips chopped cilantro and scallions before serving.
