Sticky Rice

All happiness depends upon a leisurely breakfast. ~ John Gunther We had sticky rice for dinner today. Both Norman and Marcus said that they love this a lot because it's tasty. I think that it not only tastes good, it looks good too.
The main ingredients for this dish are glutinous rice, chinese sausage, shitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, shallots and garlic. Suanne got this recipe originally from her younger sister. Here are the before and after preparation shots of the ingredients:
Suanne starts off by frying all the ingredients until they are fragrant for about 5 minutes or so. You will know that it's ready for the next step when you can, well, smell the fragrance of the ingredients.
The (uncooked) glutinous rice and the seasonings are then added in to the ingredients. Before this, the glutinous rice need to be soaked overnight. The seasonings consists of oyster sauce, light and dark soy. Suanne fries the rice together until the rice are well coated.
The glutinous rice are then transfered into a steamer. The steaming process will take about 40 minutes. Every 10 minutes, you stir the rice and add a few tablespoon of water. This is done so that you don't get the sticky rice that is too soggy at the bottom and too dry at the top.
That's it. It's a simple dish to prepare and I think it's a favourite with kids. To serve, you can add some chopped green onions and some fried shallots.

ahhhh... my favorite "lor mai kai" but you made it without the chicken! Reminds me of someone from BB with that nickname! :)
Hmmm ... for some reason, we did not even thought about putting in chicken. That's a good idea -- we'll try that out. Suanne thinks that she'll need to add raw chicken during the steaming. Anyway, she bought two chickens yesterday. Chicken this week!
Well, if it is not 'lo mai kai', then it is 'lo mai farn', and it does really look yummy. Well I will rate in a 4-star rating for the look alone without getting to taste it.

You made Suanne's day ... for saying that the looks department scored a four!
look so "yammy" , my son favourite M'sia food. hey, suanne. do you know how to made "roti canai" or "Loh Pak steam Cake" (white carrot) ? Webster another favourite food!!!
Anyway, 4 star rating for u.
I have never tried making roti canai or loh pak steamed cake. We normally buy those frozen ones. I am hoping you know how to make it because I would sure like to learn from you. Norman and Marcus loves roti canai and can really gobble up many pieces.
This looks sooo good, it's on my list to try!
