Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf
Ingredients:
2 cups of long grain sweet rice
uncooked1/2 cup shiitake mushroom
cut into thin strips1/4 lb. of lean pork
1/4 cup of soaked dried shrimp
1/4 cup of chopped shallot
2 tbsps of cooking oil
1/4 tsp of salt
4 tbsps of soy sauce
Method:
Brown shallots in oil or use pre-fried shallot bits. Cook two cups of rice with two cups of water in a rice cooker. When rice is ready, stir fry pork till done. Add mushrooms, shrimps and shallots, stir some more. Add soy sauce, add rice and salt. Mix well till all rice grains are coated with brown color. Serve warm.
It tastes good as is. However, if you want to be real fancy, you can buy lotus leaf from Chinese stores and wrap the rice and filling in the lotus leaf. The lotus leaf must be washed and soaked before you wrap your fillings. You can make as big or as little as your heart desires, just trim the lotus leaf to size.
