Home-style steamed glutinous rice




Ingredients
500g glutinous rice ( for serving of 8 bowls)
200g pork fillet ( cut into small pieces )
150g dried prawn ( soaked )
10 chinese mushroom ( cut into thin slices )
4 shallots
1 stalk spring onion
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 1/2 tbsp dark soya sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp corn flour
some oil

Preparation
1. Put 1 tbsp corn flour and 1 tbsp light soya sauce to the pork and mix well.
2.Heat up 6 tbsp oil and stir-fry the shallots until fragrant.
3. Add the dried prawn and stir fry for 3 minutes.
4. Add in the pork to stir fry for a while until half cooked.
5. Add in the mushroom, oyster sauce, dark soya sauce, 1 tbsp light soya sauce and salt and stir fry for 3 minutes.

6. Add in the glutinous rice and stir fry over low fire to mix well.
7. Make sure the glutinous rice does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan as you stir fry.






8. Add in water to the glutinous rice until the water level is just above the surface of the rice.








9. Use a wooded spoon to level the surface. The water level is about 2-3 mm above the surface of the rice. Make sure the rice is totally submerged.
10. Cook over very low flame until the water dries up.
11 .Turn off the flame.

16. Dish out the rice to a bowl and overturn the bowl of rice to a serving plate.
