Stir Fried Glutinous Rice (Sticky Rice)

This Stir-Fried Glutinous Rice is one of my wife's favorite dishes. Trust me, it's easy to cook and delicious. We haven't ordered this dish at Chinese restaurant since I started cooking at home. Oh, by the way, my wife is Chinese so you can take my word for it. 

You can buy the glutinous rice at any Asian supermarket. Sometime it called sweet or sticky Mochi rice.

Soak glutinous rice and dried shiitake mushrooms for 6 hours. 

Chop rehydrated shiitake mushrooms and Chinese vegetarian bacon into dices.

KEEP shiitake mushroom juice for stir-fry. 

Heat the pan/wok with oil and garlic & ginger mix. Stir-fty diced shiitake mushrooms and vegetarian bacon.

Drain well

Add rice into the shiitake mushrooms and vegetable bacon. Keep mixing and stirring for 3-5 minutes

Add soy sauce, sugar and few drops of sesame oil and keep stirring for 3 minutes

Add small amount of shiitake mushroom juice to the rice and stir. Add again when the juice is about drying up. Repeat the process of stirring until the rice is cooked. 

 Enjoy !!

I picked cabbage, eggplant and zucchini. It's fun to experiment with your own choice of vegetable. I love to visit local produce stores. All the colorful veggies make me so happy!

Cut eggplant, zucchini and cabbage into small bite size pieces

Heat 2 tbs of the oil in fry pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Add garlic & ginger mix. 

Add all the vegetables in the pan. Stir fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp. (7-8 minutes or so)

OPTIONAL: Soy Curls 

Add prepared soy curls to the stir fried vegetables

Add pre-mixed black pepper sauce to the pan. Stirring constantly, bring to boil on medium-high heat. 

Add more sauce if needed

Serve with rice or mix with pasta noodle.

Enjoy it !!
