Instructions:
- Rinse 500g of glutinous rice with water, then soak overnight or at least 8 hours until soft. After soaking for the required time, steam the glutinous rice until cooked. Once cooked, spread the rice on a plate greased with a little cooking oil to prevent sticking, use a knife to cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a large pan on the stove, pour in enough oil to cover the pan and heat. Fry the rice over medium heat until golden brown, then remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- In a large bowl, mix together the following ingredients: 300g minced meat with chopped beans, carrots, straw mushrooms, and chopped purple onion, along with 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of bouillon, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce. Mix well and let marinate for about 15 - 20 minutes. Once the ingredients have absorbed the seasoning, heat the pan, sauté a little chopped purple onion until fragrant, then add the filling and stir until cooked and fragrant.
- Use a knife to make a small gap in the middle of each piece of fried rice. Use a spoon to fill the gap with the filling, adding a little pork floss for extra flavor. Finally, cut the fried sticky rice pieces in half, add more filling if desired, or enjoy hot with chili sauce.
