Sticky Rice Stuffing Recipe

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

not fancy, not stuffy - just stuffin'

I found my Mom's recipe card. Of course for her they are notes because she had made it so many times. So we fill in the blanks and hope it is right... Originally this recipe (see the card) calls for 3 cups rice. Which I am sure she never did. So I am working on this to get it closer to my memory with a twist of today melded in.  Keep in mind there is a lot of "do it by feel" in this recipe. 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sticky rice (also known as glutinous or sweet rice)

2/3 cup Jasmine rice

1/4 cup red beans or other hearty bean

1/2 of a cup (about 5) dried Chinese black (xiang gu) -  shiitake - or 1 large handful

2 pound lop cheung sausages - Chinese sausages, diced (optional)

1 scallion diced

8 oz water chestnuts

enough turkey, or vegetable broth to cook the rice.

-----

If Oven cooking preheat 300° F or cook at the same time as the turkey

For everyday treat use a rice cooker set to mixed rice, jasmine rice, or regular setting 

Directions:

1. Combine the rice and wash at least three times until the water is clear

2. Put the rice and beans in the pot or rice cooker and add liquid according to your rice cooker, or use the finger technique. Depth of the rice is the amount of liquid above the rice.

(Dip your finger into the rice and note the depth of the rice by marking it with your thumb. Then, add water until the level of the liquid reaches the same point on your finger (from the top of the rice to your thumb mark). This method works for any size pot, as it naturally adjusts the liquid-to-rice ratio.)

3. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine

4. Set the rice cooker  or put in the oven. If cooking on the stove top bring to a boil covered and then reduce to a simmer.

5. Cook until the rice is done. Make sure the sausage has reached at least 165°f. As long as it is still sticky and moist it is good. 

You can always add a little water or more turkey stock if cooking in the oven or stove top.

Salt to you desire.

Top with turkey drippings if you have some.
