CHINESE RESTAURANT-STYLE STICKY RICE



Chinese Restaurant-Style Sticky Rice image

I found this in Cook's Country magazine. Sticky rice we can make at home and use our chopsticks?! YAY! I've stirred, lid off, lid on, added oil, etc, to try and make my rice really sticky. There's nothing special here as far as ingredients, it's just a very simple method! Thanks Cook's Country and Chef Kelley Baker! Do not stir the rice as it cooks. The finished rice can stand off heat, covered, for up to 15 minutes. NOTE: This recipe doesn't claim to be authentic sticky rice, just a convenient method of utilizing the white rice in your pantry to make rice with a sticky consistency.

Chinese fried rice that tastes just like in the Chinese restaurants. I have tried many recipe and have found this one from a Chinese chef who gave me a few tips and secrets. Now you can have them too.

Provided by Pat Duran

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c uncooked basmati rice
2 c water
1/2 to 3/4 c chicken stock
1 ham steak, cut into small cubes
1/2 c frozen peas
2 large eggs
3 to 4 Tbsp canola oil or peanut oil
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Cook your rice on the stove or in a rice cooker. You want it a bit on the crunchy side, so even though you might want to add more water, Do Not! Let the rice cool completely. You can even cook it the night before and let cool in the fridge.
  • 2. Heat a wok over high heat with 1 Tablespoon of oil. Add eggs and scramble until cooked. Add the ham and peas and fry for about a minute. Remove egg mixture from wok. Clean the wok out a bit so leftover egg doesn't burn while you are heating up the wok and oil again.
  • 3. Add remaining oil and heat over high heat until very hot. Add cold rice and stir to coat every grain. Add chicken stock a bit at a time to give the rice a chance to soak up the liquid. Add much just enough stock the rice will soak up the flavor- you do not want it sticky.
  • 4. Stir fry , stirring constantly until there is no liquid left, then chop up the egg mixture and add it, along with the soy sauce and salt. Stir. You can add more or less soy sauce and salt according to you taste.
  • 5. The secret is to use cold al dente cooked rice and to cook the eggs and add-ins separate;then add them in later. Be sure to let the rice soak up the chicken stock , but do not let the rice become sticky. Enjoy- this is the best homemade fried rice you will ever make.

CHINESE-STYLE STICKY RICE RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Chinese-Style Sticky Rice Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by longhornfans

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups long grain white rice
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place rice in fine-mesh strainer set over bowl. Rinse under running water, swishing with hands until water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. 2. Bring rinsed rice, water and salt to boil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, uncovered, until water level drops below surface of rice and small holes form, about 5 minutes. 3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed, about 15 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: Long-grain rice, such as jasmine rice or basmati rice, works best for Chinese-style rice. These rices have a light, fluffy texture that is perfect for stir-fries and other Chinese dishes.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Use the right amount of water: The general rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of water for every 2 cups of rice. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency of the rice.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender: The rice is done cooking when it is tender and has absorbed all of the water. You can check the rice by tasting it or by looking for a small hole in the center of each grain.
  • Fluff the rice before serving: Fluffing the rice with a fork helps to separate the grains and make them light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Chinese-style rice is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of Chinese dishes. By following these tips, you can make perfect Chinese-style rice every time.
