CHINESE COOKING: Glutinous or sticky rice is considered a treat in most Chinese families. Please give this recipe a try.



FLAVOURED GLUTINOUS RICE糯米飯:

 

 

 

2 cups glutinous or sticky rice + 1 cup short grain rice

3 tbsp. dried shrimp                                                    

6-8 large dried black mushroom                                 

3-4 Chinese sausages                                                  

4 ½ cups cold water

seasoning:                                           

    ¾ tsp salt                                                     
    1 tsp. sugar
    dash of light soy sauce                               
    1 tsp. dry sherry or rice wine
    2-3 tbsp. dark soy sauce                                         

 chopped green onion +  2 tbsp. dark soy & 1 tsp. cooked oil

 

 

 

 

Soak mushrooms in hot water for at a few hours to soften. Soak dried shrimp until re-hydrated. Slice and dice mushroom caps into small pieces and roughly chop dried shrimp. Cut each sausage into 2 pieces and put them in a microwavable container. Sprinkle a bit of cold water over sausages and cook, covered with a microwavable lid, in the microwave, at high setting for 50 seconds. Remove and cool. Quarter each piece of sausage; then cut into small dice. Transfer sausage, mushrooms and shrimp into a large mixing bowl and add seasoning. Toss well to mix. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a non-stick saucepan over high heat until hot. Add sausage mixture and cook for 1 minute. Remove and set aside.

 

Wash and rinse rice mixture through 5-6 changes of water, drain well. Cook rice in 4 ½ cups cold water, either in a rice cooker or in a non-stick saucepan over the stove. If cooking rice on the stove, cover pot and bring water to a boil over high heat. When water starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until most of the water has been absorbed by the rice. At this point, add in sausage mixture; and stir it well into rice, making sure the meat mixture is evenly distributed among the rice. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and continue cooking rice for 10-15 minutes more before serving.

 

Add chopped green onion to soy sauce mixture, and serve this with rice if desired
