Glutinous Rice


As the youths in Church were having the Christmas Outreach Musical rehearsal after service, we decided to provide dinner for them. Margaret has kindly offered to cook fried rice. To supplement that, I decided to try cooking glutinous rice for the first time. Turned out to be alright.

I called my aunt to find out how to cook. She told me over the phone how to do it.

1 kg glutinous rice --soaked for half an hour
3/4 cup dried shrimps --soaked
2 cups dried mushrooms--soaked then sliced
600g belly pork
6 rice bowls of water
1 cup shallots
1/2 cup garlic

1. Season pork with sesame oil, oyster sauce, black sauce, light sauce, pepper.
2. Fry shallots until crispy. Set aside.
3. Use shallot oil to fry garlic until fragrant.
4. Add in dried shrimps, then belly pork and mushrooms.
5. Add in rice and fry together with ingredients.
6. Season with light sauce, dark sauce, pepper and a little cooking wine.
7. Put everything in a large tray to steam--about 40 minutes.
