Sticky Rice With Chinese Sausage Recipes

CHINESE STIR-FRIED STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Soak rice in a large bowl of water until mostly translucent, about 4 hours. Rinse and drain thoroughly.
• Soak mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops in 3 separate bowls of water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving mushroom water and discarding other water. Chop mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops into small pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour eggs into skillet, swirling to spread out into a thin layer. Cook until mostly firm, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until no longer runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer egg to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Roll into a long tube and slice into thin ribbons.
• Stir Chinese sausage into the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until fragrant and some of the oil is released, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops; cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer sausage mixture to a bowl.
• Stir drained rice into the skillet. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in reserved mushroom water, stirring constantly until water is absorbed. Add hot water, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until water is absorbed between each addition. Cook until rice is softened, about 25 minutes.
• Season rice with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Stir in egg ribbons and sausage mixture. Top with cilantro before serving.

STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook the sticky rice according to the directions on the package and set aside to cool (we usually just make it in our rice cooker). You can also use our method for soaking and steaming the sticky rice to pre-cook it.
• Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, sesame oil, chicken stock, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 30 seconds to bring out the flavor. Next, add the onion, mushrooms and Chinese sausage, and stir-fry for another minute, taking care not to burn the onion. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
• Add all of the cooked sticky rice to the wok and break it up as much as possible with a spatula. Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the rice (it helps to add the sauce over any clumps of rice to help break them up). Mix well, using a scooping motion to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the wok. Add the rest of the sauce and stir-fry until the rice is uniform in color.
• Season with white pepper to taste and mix in the scallions. You can serve it as is...or if you want to get fancy, you can pack the rice into a nice round bowl rinsed in warm water and turn it over on a plate. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

WHOLE QUAIL WITH STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• To make the quail with rice:
• Rinse the rice 2 times in a bowl of cold water and drain. In a large ovenproof pot, combine the rice, sausages, chestnuts, sugar, soy sauce, dried scallops, gingko nuts, ham, dates, wine, and dried shrimp. Add a scant 3 cups of water, put in a steam oven, and cook until cooked through and soft, 30 to 45 minutes. Fold in the edamame. Taste and adjust the sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Let cool and then fold in the scallions. Stuff about 1/2 cup of the rice mixture into each quail.
• To make the scallion oil:
• Put the scallions in a bowl, cover with the oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree in a blender and strain through a very fine-mesh sieve, gently pressing to extract the pulp. Add the ginger, to taste.
• To make the garlic chives:
• In a small skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Saute the garlic chives, seasoning with salt, until slightly caramelized. You can add a bit of water to help cook the chives through before burning, if needed.
• To serve:
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet with a little oil. Sear the birds breast side down and then put in the oven until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Then turn the birds and repeat the process on the other side, cooking until the birds are cooked and the rice is heated through.
• Serve the whole quail on a bed of chive buds with a few dots of scallion oil to garnish the plate.

STICKY RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE AND DRIED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Cover rice with cold water by 1 inch in a bowl and soak at least 4 and up to 12 hours.
• After rice has soaked at least 3 hours, fill wok with enough water for bottom rim of steamer (not rack) to rest in water, then bring to a boil.
• Put scallops and rice wine in a small heatproof bowl. Put bowl with scallops in bottom tier of steamer and steam, covered, until soft, about 2 hours. (Replenish water as necessary to keep bottom rim of steamer in water to prevent scorching.)
• When scallops have steamed for almost 1 hour, line bottom and side of top tier of steamer with several layers of cheesecloth, then set tier onto steamer in wok.
• Drain rice in a sieve and rinse well under cold running water, then spread rice in an even layer over cheesecloth in steamer (cheesecloth should not hang over edge of steamer) and steam, covered, sprinkling rice with a few drops of water occasionally, 1 hour. (Replenish water as necessary to keep bottom rim of steamer in water to prevent scorching.)
• Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in 2 cups boiling-hot water in a bowl (water should cover mushrooms), turning mushrooms over occasionally, until softened, about 30 minutes. Cut out and discard stems from mushrooms, then squeeze excess liquid from caps into bowl and thinly slice caps. Reserve 1/2 cup mushroom- soaking liquid and discard remainder.
• Remove top tier of steamer from wok and transfer rice from cheesecloth to a platter. Once rice has cooled, lightly wet your hands and break up large clumps.
• Using tongs, remove bowl containing scallops from bottom tier of steamer. Reserve water in wok.
• Reserve scallop-soaking liquid and shred scallops into "threads" with a fork or your fingers, discarding tough muscle on side (muscle will remain solid but scallop meat will shred easily).
• Bring water in wok to a boil, then arrange sausages on a heatproof plate and steam in steamer, covered, 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, halve sausages lengthwise, then cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Cut scallions into 1/4-inch-thick slices, keeping pale green and white parts separate from dark green parts.
• Stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Pour off water from wok and dry. Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Pour peanut oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add mushrooms and pale green and white parts of scallions and stir-fry 1 minute. Add sausage and scallops and stir-fry 1 minute. Add rice and stir-fry, breaking up any clumps, 1 minute. Add scallop- and mushroom-soaking liquids along with oyster sauce mixture and stir-fry until rice is well coated and hot, about 2 minutes. Add sesame oil, then add pepper and remaining scallion greens and stir-fry until combined well.
