STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook the sticky rice according to the directions on the package and set aside to cool (we usually just make it in our rice cooker). You can also use our method for soaking and steaming the sticky rice to pre-cook it.
• Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, sesame oil, chicken stock, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 30 seconds to bring out the flavor. Next, add the onion, mushrooms and Chinese sausage, and stir-fry for another minute, taking care not to burn the onion. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add all of the cooked sticky rice to the wok and break it up as much as possible with a spatula. Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the rice (it helps to add the sauce over any clumps of rice to help break them up). Mix well, using a scooping motion to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the wok. Add the rest of the sauce and stir-fry until the rice is uniform in color.
• Season with white pepper to taste and mix in the scallions. You can serve it as is...or if you want to get fancy, you can pack the rice into a nice round bowl rinsed in warm water and turn it over on a plate. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

INSTANT POT CHINESE SAUSAGE RICE

Steps:

• Add the rice and enough water to cover the rice into a large bowl. Use your fingers to gently rinse the rice in a swirling motion, then drain the water.
• Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave until hot. Add the dried shiitake mushrooms. Soak until the mushrooms turn soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, squeeze the liquid out of the mushrooms into the soaking water. Slice the mushrooms thinly. Reserve 1/2 cup of the soaking water for cooking.
• Cut the rest of the ingredients while rehydrating the mushrooms.
• Turn on the "Saute" function on your Instant Pot and wait until it's heated. Add the butter and stir a few times until it melts.
• Add the shallot and shiitake mushrooms. Stir a few times to coat well with butter. Then spread the ingredients into a single layer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the onions turn golden, 6 minutes or so.
• Add the Chinese sausage. Cook and stir until the edges turn golden and crispy, 2 minutes.
• Pour in the Shaoxing wine. Use your spatula to release any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine has evaporated completely.
• Turn off "Saute". Add the rice. Stir to mix the rice evenly with the other ingredients. Add the chicken stock, the 1/2 cup mushroom soaking liquid, water chestnuts, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt. Stir to mix well.
• Cover the Instant Pot and seal the valve. Set on "Rice" for 12 minutes.
• Once the Instant Pot is done cooking, wait for 5 minutes, then switch to fast release by using a long spatula or other utensil to rotate the valve to "Venting" (or use the release button on your Instant Pot lid). Stay away from the Instant Pot to avoid being burned by the hot steam coming out of the pot when using fast release.
• Fluff the rice and garnish with sliced green onions.
• Serve hot as a main or side dish.
• Store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month. Reheat in the microwave before serving.

STICKY RICE STUFFING (A CHINESE-INSPIRED THANKSGIVING RECIPE)

Steps:

• Add rice and water to cover into a large bowl. Use your fingers to gently rinse the rice in a swirling motion, then drain the water. Add water to cover the rice with 1" (2 cm) of water. Soak at room temperature overnight. Drain thoroughly before cooking.
• Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave until hot. Add the dried shiitake mushrooms. Soak until the mushrooms turn soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, squeeze the liquid out of the mushrooms into the soaking water. Slice the mushrooms thinly. Reserve the soaking water for cooking.
• Cut the rest of the ingredients while rehydrating the mushrooms.
• Heat the butter in a 4-quart dutch oven (or tight-sealing heavy pot) over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shallot and shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions turn golden and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the Chinese sausage. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Pour in the Shaoxing wine. Use your spatula to release any brown bits stuck on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine has evaporated completely.
• Add the rice. Stir to mix the rice evenly with the other ingredients. Add the chicken stock and salt. Stir to mix well.
• Add the water chestnuts. Pour in the soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Gently stir a few times to mix the soy sauce.
• Cook until the liquid comes to a low simmer. Turn to very low heat and cover the dutch oven. Steam until the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover the pan and taste the rice at the 20-minute mark. If the rice still has a bit of a raw texture, let it cook for another 5 minutes.
• Once done, uncover the pan and stir with a rice paddle or spatula to fluff the rice. Garnish the stuffing with sliced green onions.
• Serve hot as a side.
• This dish can be cooked 1 to 2 days in advance. Reheat it in the same dutch oven in a 350 ℉ (176 ℃) oven with the lid on until warm. You can reheat it in the microwave, too. To heat it evenly, be sure to stir the rice several times over the course of reheating.
• It's very likely that the sticky rice will stick to the bottom of the pot once you're done cooking. This is due to the starchy texture and the added soy sauce. To clean up the pot, add 2" (5 cm) of water to the pot and boil for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sticky rice can be lifted easily with a wooden spatula. Scrape off any stuck residue and rinse the pan using detergent.

CHINESE SAUSAGE WITH STICKY RICE (XôI LạP XưởNG)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice and water. Cover with a lid or towel and let rest for at least 8 hours.
• In a pot of water over medium-high heat, add the steamer and line with the cheesecloth. Preheat the steamer for about 2 minutes or until you start to see steam rising above the steamer.
• Drain the water from the soaked rice.
• Add rice to the preheated steamer lined with cheesecloth and spread evenly. Add the Chinese sausages on top of the rice at least 1 inch apart.
• Cover with the lid and steam for 20 minutes. Make sure to add water to the pot throughout the steaming process so the pot doesn't run out of water.
• Open the lid and check the texture of the rice, it should be plump, soft, and chewy. The rice should not be mushy or too hard. If the texture is too al dente for your preference, you can close the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes before checking the texture again. Cook until it reaches the final desired texture because it will not continue to cook once you remove it from the heat.
• Transfer the rice into bowls. Cut the Chinese sausage into bite-size pieces. Serve immediately.

STIR FRIED STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• -Rinse and clean the rice with water a few times until the water runs clear. -Cover rice with warm water in a large bowl. You need to soak the rice at least 2 hours, but better if you can soak it overnight. -Wash the dried mushrooms in the sink and soak it in a bowl with hot water. Soak the mushroom for 1hr and squeeze the mushroom to remove excess liquid back into the bowl. Save this liquid because you will use it to cook the sticky rice. The mushrooms will have a hard stem and you would want to snip it off with a kitchen shear. Coarsely chop the mushrooms and set it aside. -Chop the sausage into ½ inch pieces. €-Wash and soak the dried shrimp in cold water for 1 hr. Drain the water and set the dried shrimp aside. -Heat the wok over high heat until just smoking. Add canola oil, ginger, green onions and stir-fry 30-45 seconds. Add sausage, dried shrimp, and mushrooms stir-fry 3-5 minute. Turn the heat down to medium high heat and stir in rice wine, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. -Now it’s time to stir in the rice. First you want to drain the liquid and set the liquid aside in a small bowl. You will now stir fried the sweet rice with what’s in the wok for 30-40mins in medium-high heat. While you are stir frying the sweet rice you want to add some of the mushroom/rice liquid you have set aside earlier into the wok (a little bit at a time). This process is similar to cooking Italian risotto. You will need to stir fried the rice constantly while adding the rice/mushroom liquid. You will know the rice is almost done when the rice turn translucent. -Add the soy sauce and mushroom soy sauce into the rice and mix until it’s well incorporated. -Add the peanuts and mix it evenly. -Transfer the rice into a large bowl, garnish with some more green onions on top and enjoy!
