Steps to make crispy fried sticky rice
Prepare the ingredients for crispy fried sticky rice
Soak glutinous rice in cold water with a pinch of salt overnight. The next day, drain the rice and steam until cooked. Optionally, sprinkle some coconut water or a small spoon of cooking oil over the rice, stir, and steam again to enhance the flavor. (You can also use leftover sticky rice from a post-festival feast.) Season the ground pork with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a bit of pepper; mix well and marinate for 30 minutes. Peel and julienne the carrot and taro. Soak wood ear mushrooms in hot water to expand, remove stems, and chop.
steps to execute the crispy fried sticky rice recipe
Heat a non-stick pan, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant, stir-fry the meat until cooked, add wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and taro, stir-fry together, season with 1 spoon of seasoning (adjust to taste). Once the meat is cooked, turn off the heat, sprinkle with scallions and pepper. Shaping the fried sticky rice: After preparing the filling, let it cool. Steam the glutinous rice until cooled. Take a small bowl or jar lid, place a piece of food wrap on it, add the rice, then press down to form a cylindrical shape. When working, grease your hands with a little cooking oil to prevent sticking. After shaping, refrigerate the sticky rice in the fridge for about 15 minutes to dry the surface, making it easier to fry.
