What is Glutinous Rice?

Glutinous rice is wok-tossed with a variety of ingredients, including Chinese sausages, dried shrimp, dried scallops, etc., to create the delectable Asian meal known as stir-fried glutinous rice. The glutinous rice gives it a unique texture which is sticky and chewy. It includes a mix of ingredients like Chinese Sausages, shiitake mushroom, dried seafood and seasonings, enhancing its taste and making it a satisfying and flavorful savory dish.

It is getting a little chilly, and I want some comfort food and Stir Fried Sticky Glutinous Rice 生炒糯米飯 is perfect. I was planning to make it the night before yesterday, so I soaked the sticky rice around lunch time couple days ago, I ended up was too busy and waited til yesterday morning, so the rice was soaked for like 20 hours, but surprisingly that made it super easy and quick to cook, and the rice didn’t get break into pieces easily because of long soaking. It was fulfilling!

3. Add 2 T of chicken broth or scallop water at a time and stir fry for about a minute. I repeated this process 4 times.

5. Try the rice and they should be completely cooked if they are soaked long enough. If not, add 1 T broth at a time and stir fry until they are cooked.

6. Add all meat, mushroom…etc ingredients into pan, stir fry to mix them well

7. Season with soy sauce and dark soy sauce, continue to stir fry until they are all brown evenly in color, Sugar and salt to taste

8. Turn off fire, add cilantro or green onion and fried peanuts and mix well!

Tips

1. Used non stick pan for easy stir fry because sticky rice obviously is sticky.
2. For seasoning, you might add salt and sugar to taste depends on what brand of soy sauce you use
