Sticky Rice Stuffing
Description
Sticky Rice Stuffing starts with soaking and steaming sweet (sticky) rice to achieve the characteristic glutinous texture. In a hot skillet, thinly sliced onions and Chinese sausage are cooked until softened and slightly caramelized before adding thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms. The cooked rice is combined with these flavorful ingredients, along with soy sauce, dark soy sauce (or molasses for gluten-free), chicken stock, and scallions for savory seasoning.
The mixture is spread evenly in a pan and roasted in a hot oven to develop a golden, crispy layer on both the top and bottom while keeping a chewy, sticky center. This cooking method enhances both texture and flavor, creating a contrast between the crisp edges and hearty interior. The sausage and mushrooms contribute a savory and slightly sweet umami flavor that complements the mildly sweet sticky rice.
This stuffing serves well as a side dish for meats or can be part of a celebratory meal. Its robust flavors make it suitable for autumn and winter meals when sticky rice dishes are enjoyed. The preparation requires some time for soaking and steaming the sticky rice but the roasting step is straightforward and enhances the dish significantly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet rice (also called sticky rice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 Chinese sausage lop cheung, sliced; can substitute bacon or any other gluten-free sausage, links of
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced, or substitute re-constituted dried shiitake mushrooms, fresh
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (or 1 teaspoon molasses, if you want to stay gluten-free)
- 1 cup chicken stock low-sodium
- 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Cook the sweet rice (sticky rice). The most foolproof way is to soak it overnight (or at least 6 hours), and then steam it for 40 minutes. If you have a rice cooker with a sweet rice setting, you can also cook it that way.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add the onions and sliced Chinese sausage. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until caramelized.
- Add the cooked rice, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chicken stock, and scallions. Mix until the rice is an even brown color.
- Spread the stuffing out evenly in the pan, and transfer to the oven. Roast the stuffing for 15 minutes, until crisp on the top and bottom. Serve!
