HOW LONG TO STEAM STICKY RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don’t allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-soak the sticky rice for at least 2 hours. Drain and then place in a steamer to steam for around 20 minutes (almost cooked).
• Marinate chicken with salt, light soy sauce, pepper and oyster sauce.
• Heat oil in a pan, add ginger, garlic and green onion white and fry for around 1 minute over slow fire until aromatic.
• Add chicken meat in and fry for 10-15 seconds until the chicken changes color slightly. Transfer out.
• Place sweet sausage, cured pork belly and shiitake mushrooms; fry for 1-2 minutes over medium slow fire until slightly browned and the cured pork belly turns transparent.
• Turn off fire and return chicken meats, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and oyster sauce. Mix well.
• Assembling method 1: Get a lotus leaf and put a layer of sticky rice (pre-steamed) and then put 1/3 of the filling on the center. Cover with another layer of sticky rice. Then dig a small hole in the center and decorate with a salted duck egg yolk. Wrap well with the remaining part of the leaf.
• Assembling method 2: Mix steamed sticky rice with the filling. Then place around 1 cup mixture in the center of a lotus leaf and then wrap well.
• Sep up the steamer and continue steaming for 20 minutes. Serve with chopped green onion.
