Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked sticky/sweet/glutinous rice
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 T oyster sauce
- 1 ½ T soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon fish sauce
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 links lap cheong/Chinese sausage cut into small discs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup dried shrimp soaked for 15 minutes in warm water
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 5 shiitake mushrooms diced (if using dried, soak in warm water until softened)
- 2 scallions chopped
- cilantro and roasted peanuts to garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the rice in a rice cooker. I suppose you could do it stovetop instead, but why?
-
Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, fish sauce, sesame oil and salt in a small bowl. Heat a wok or frying [an over medium heat. Add the lap cheong; cook until crispy and it has rendered its fat. Add the garlic, shrimp, onion and mushrooms; cook until golden and fragrant.
-
Add the rice and break it up with a spatula. Add the sauce and mix until well-combined. Taste for seasoning, and adjust if necessary.
-
Mix in the scallions. If you want to get fancy (completely optional), you can pack the rice into a bowl rinsed in warm water and invert it onto a plate. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts, and serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Recipe adapted slightly from The Woks of Life.
If you want a higher rice to topping (the shiitake and lap cheong and such), you can increase the amount of white rice to 2 cups. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning quantities.
The quantities for the seasonings are merely suggestions; I typically eyeball anyways. Adjust to your tastes accordingly.
