Steamed Glutinous Rice

Tried this Steamed Glutinous Rice by Lena(aka Ltan), at Edith's place and I liked it so much. So I requested the recipe from Lena and she was so generous to share her recipe, at Nurkochen, with me. A big thanks to Lena!! Hmm... I cooked this last Saturday but it took me so many days before I decided to post it here, think I am getting lazy nowadays. Maybe because the rest of my fellow food bloggers are slowing down, thus affecting my enthusiasm as well?



Steamed Glutinous Rice

Ingredients:
1 kg glutinous rice
50g dried mushroom (soak with water)
50g dried shrimps (wash and drain)
200g pork belly/lean pork
100g shallots (small onions)

Method:

Wash the glutinous rice and soak in water. (No need to soak over night, 1/2 -1 hour will do)

Slice softened mushroom, pork and shallots thinly.

Use half of the seasonings to season the mushroom and the other half for the pork.

Fry the sliced shallots and set a side and do the same with the dried shrimps.

Fry the mushroom well then add the pork and fry for about 5 minutes.

Drain the glutinous rice and add into the mushrooms and pork.

Put in half of the fried shallots; keep the other half for garnishing add in all the fried dried shrimps, the chicken seasoning powder and salt. Fry for a few minutes. When it is well mixed, add in the 350 ml of water and turned off the flame. Stir well.

Put into a big pan and steam for 40 minutes or until done.

You may sprinkle some water on it if you find the glutinous rice is still hard or uncooked.
