Sticky Rice (Lo Mei Fan)


Ingredients:
Sticky Rice (Glutinous Rice, Sweet Rice, Etc)
Chinese Sausage (Example)
Chinese Bacon (Example)
Dried Shrimp (Example)
Black Mushroom (Example)
Cilantro
White pepper
Salt
Chicken Stock
Raw Peanuts
Garlic

Instructions:
The way I do it is pretty simple and very similar to a lot of recipes. There's not much originality to it, however it's very homey. I start off with soaking sticky rice for a few hours. For the following I used 2 cups. You also want to soak separate the dried mushroom (about 4 pc) and dried shrimp in another bowl. Weight it down so that it evenly hydrates.

First, in a pan with heated oil, add lightly fry the peanuts so that is crisp then remove.

Then mince the garlic (4 cloves) and lightly fry it in a pan with oil until aromatic. After, add chopped Chinese Sausage (2) and chopped Bacon (1, 6" slab; Not the one you associate with breakfast). Then finally chopped Black Mushroom and Dried shrimp. Finally throw a little bit of salt, white pepper and oyster sauce to taste. Remove from pan and set aside.

In a wok or rice cooker, add 3/4 part water and 1/4 part chicken stock. Add as much as it takes to cover the rice and little bit more. Cook until 90% done on medium low, and remove from heat; usually about after 10 muntes. Add the ingredients you prepared earlier then mix. Add chopped cilantro for added flavor. Finally salt, white pepper, and oyster sauce to taste.
