Glutinous rice


Second attempt at making glutinous rice. Mummy bought the toshiba rice cooker a long time ago and it came with a mini recipe. I have been wanting to try out one of its recipe - glutinous chicken rice. I tried out the recipe but it didn't turn out fantastic so under mummy's advice, I tried to make glutinous rice again.

The toshiba recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup glutinous rice (soaked in water for about 30 mins)
Water to cook glutinous rice (up to water level marked "1" for glutinous rice
1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp cooking oil
350g boneless chicken meat (marinated)

Method
1. Press 'COOK' and pour cooking oil into the rice pot.
2. Drain the glutinous rice and place it into the rice cooker, add water to suitable water level and add dark soy sauce and salt.
3. Cover the rice cooker and bring rice and water to boil.
4. Open the rice cooker, stir the rice and water and bring it to simmer. Stir again.
5. Add marinated chicken, placing them evenly over rice and cover the rice cooker.
6. Press 'CANCEL' and restart the cooking process by pressing 'COOK' again.
7. Once rice is cooked, serve immediately with fried shallots and spring onions.

Following mummy's advice,
New recipe:
1.5 cups glutinous rice (soaked in water too)
Water level till below 2 (I poured to 2 and the rice was a bit wet)
Dark soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Cooking oil
Little shrimps
Mushrooms
2 Chinese sausage

Method
1. Cook the chopped little shrimps and mushroom together until you smell fragrance
2.  Press 'COOK' and pour cooking oil and the cooked shrimps and mushroom into the rice pot.
3. Drain the glutinous rice and place it into the rice cooker, add water to suitable water level and add dark soy sauce and light soy sauce. (amount depends on preference)
4. Cover the rice cooker and bring rice and water to boil.
5. Open the rice cooker, stir the rice and water and bring it to simmer. Stir again.
6. Add chinese sausage, placing them evenly over rice and cover the rice cooker.
7. Press 'CANCEL' and restart the cooking process by pressing 'COOK' again.
8. Once rice is cooked, serve immediately with fried shallots and spring onions

I would definitely make this again, adding lesser water the next time. It tastes just like the glutinous rice my family used to have from a particular dim sum stall near my house last time. But they have moved away. I remember them adding bits of fried eggs, maybe I will add some too next time.
Rate: 8/10
