【Guangdong】Glutinous rice

Overview

Chinese sausage and dried shrimps are indispensable in the glutinous rice made in Guangdong. Other ingredients are selected according to each family’s preferences. In my memory, in addition to Chinese sausage and dried shrimps, the glutinous rice I ate as a child also included Cantonese bacon, dried squid, shiitake mushrooms, fried peanuts, and coriander... The taste in my memory was so fragrant, but it was also greasy. Now that I want to eat glutinous rice without being so greasy, I will improve the recipe myself. The sausage and dried shrimps are retained, plus Jiang Yaozhu is added to freshen it up, and the chopped celery is refreshing to remove greasiness and enrich the taste. The ratio of glutinous rice to sticky rice is 2:1. On the basis of normal cooking, add less water, cook it in a rice cooker first, and then stir-fry it in a wok. This method is simpler and healthier than traditional fried glutinous rice.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients: celery, Chinese sausage, Jiang Yaozhu, dried shrimps, glutinous rice and sticky rice.

   

2. 2 Wash and chop the celery, chop the sausage, soak the dried shrimps and scallops in water for 10 minutes, drain and chop into pieces and set aside.

   

3. 3 When measuring and cooking rice, the ratio of glutinous rice to sticky rice is 2:1. The rice produced in this way will not be very sticky and greasy. Sticky rice is also the commonly eaten silk rice.

   

4. 4 Use a rice cooker to cook the rice mixed with glutinous rice and sticky rice. Use less cooking water, otherwise it will be very sticky and affect the taste. After the rice is cooked, break it up and set aside.

   

5. 5 Start frying the glutinous rice. Heat oil in pan.

   

6. 6 First add the chopped sausage and stir-fry over low heat.

   

7. 7 Stir-fry the sausage to remove the oil and add the chopped dried shrimps.

   

8. 8 Then add the chopped Jiangyao Zhu and stir-fry for a while.

   

9. 9 Stir fry as shown in the picture and then add the cooked rice.

   

10. 10 Stir vigorously and stir-fry evenly. At this time, you can use high to medium heat to allow the water in the rice to evaporate, making the cooked rice more delicious.

    

11. 11 Add chopped celery and continue to stir-fry.

    

12. 12 When you see that the water in the glutinous rice has almost evaporated, add an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to taste.

    

13. 13 Finally add appropriate amount of soy sauce for seasoning and coloring. You can also add a little bit of dark soy sauce, then the color will be darker. It depends on everyone's preference.
