Chicken and mushroom sticky rice, with its fragrant, sticky grains, golden fried shallots, shredded chicken, and deep brown hue of shiitake mushrooms, creates an eye-catching and mouth-watering dish that you won't forget after just one bite.
Ingredients:
- Chicken: ½ whole
- Dried shiitake mushrooms: 30g
- Glutinous rice: 300g
- Fish sauce, salt
- Dried shallots, scallions
- Banana leaves: 2-3 leaves (optional)
- Chicken fat: 2 tablespoons (or vegetable oil)

Using chicken fat to cook sticky rice enhances its flavor.
How to cook chicken and mushroom sticky rice:
Step 1:
- Soak glutinous rice for about 3-4 hours, or overnight. Drain the rice and mix with a pinch of salt.
- When cooking sticky rice, add 2 banana leaves for fragrance. Put the glutinous rice in a pot and cook as usual. To keep the rice sticky, you should stir it at least twice, with the second stirring approximately 30 minutes after the first.
Step 2:
- Clean the chicken thoroughly and place it in a pot to boil. Add ½ teaspoon of soup powder and boil until the chicken is cooked. Remove and drain on a plate.

- Shred the cooked chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water until soft, then rinse and finely slice.
- Peel and thinly slice dried shallots for a crispy aroma.
Step 3:
- Heat a pan on the stove, add vegetable oil, and sauté the finely chopped dried shallots until fragrant. Then, add the soaked shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry with the chicken, seasoning with 1 teaspoon of seasoning.

- When the sticky rice is cooked for the first time, add the cooked chicken and mushroom mixture, mix well, and then put it back in for the second round. Add 2 tablespoons of chicken fat (or vegetable oil) to give the chicken sticky rice a glossy shine.
- Once the chicken sticky rice is cooked, transfer it onto a plate, sprinkle some crispy fried shallots on top, and enjoy it hot for a delicious treat.

With this chicken and mushroom sticky rice recipe, you'll have a delicious and nutritious meal to fuel your busy day. The soft, glossy sticky rice paired with crispy shallots and flavorful chicken is sure to be a hit. The secret to making the sticky rice even more aromatic and enticing is to use chicken fat to fry the shallots and then drizzle the same fat over the sticky rice. The chicken fat will make your sticky rice irresistibly fragrant and rich. If you're worried about not having enough time in the morning to prepare this dish, you can pre-cook the dried shallots and chicken the day before and store them in the refrigerator. When the sticky rice is almost cooked the next morning, simply steam the chicken on top, and it will be tender and delicious.
