生炒糯米饭 (Stir-Fried Glutinous Rice)

INGREDIENTS

• 6 scoops of glutinous rice
• 3 Chinese sausages, quartered lengthwise and diced
• 1/2c dried shrimp, washed and soaked for 10-20 minutes
• 12 small black mushrooms, diced
• 1/3 piece of salted turnip, washed, sliced thin, diced very small
• 1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1 bunch green onion, sliced thin

PROCEDURE

1. Wash and soak glutinous rice overnight.
2. Drain rice in steam basket (metal colander) for 30-60 mins, or until dry.
3. Can steam in lotus leaf instead of steam basket.  Cut a leaf in half, soak in water, and puncture with knife.  Cut in half and line the bottom of the steamer.  
4. Bring steamer to a boil.  If using lotus leaf, let steam for a few minutes first.  Push the rice evenly to the sides of leaf/basket, creating a hole in the middle to facilitate movement of steam.
5. Steam for 20-25 minutes.
6. Saute sausage in a small amount of oil until it darkens, about 30 seconds.  Then add shrimp and saute for about 30 seconds.  Then add mushrooms and saute for about 3 minutes.  Then add turnip.
7. Turn heat to low and pour in rice.
8. Add 1/2c sugar, 3/4 metal scoop soy sauce, 3 Tbs oyster sauce, and 1 spoon chicken powder.
9. Turn rice until flavor and ingredients are evenly dispersed.  Add cilantro and green onion.
