Chinese Sticky Rice
Glutinous rice, Chinese sausage, and shiitake mushrooms come together in this savory rice cooker classic perfect for family dinners!
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice sticky rice/sweet rice
- 2 Chinese sausages lap cheong, thinly sliced
- 4 dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and diced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp white pepper
- 1 green onion chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: ¼ cup diced cooked chicken or dried shrimp rehydrated
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice in a bowl until the water runs clear. Soak it in cold water for at least 2 hours, then drain thoroughly.
- If your rice cooker has a sauté function, use it to cook the sliced Chinese sausage until slightly crisp. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms and sauté until soft and fragrant.
- Add the drained rice into the rice cooker along with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute flavors.
- Add about 1½ cups of water just enough to barely cover the rice. Set your rice cooker to the regular white rice setting. Halfway through cooking, gently stir if your model allows.
- Once the rice is fully cooked and sticky, fluff gently with a fork or spatula. Garnish with chopped green onions and optional proteins before serving.
