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.

Fried Rice Chinese Restaurant Style image

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: Regardless of the type of rice you choose, make sure to use high-quality, long-grain rice for the best results.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch and helps prevent it from becoming sticky or gummy.
  • Use the proper water-to-rice ratio: The amount of water you use will vary depending on the type of rice and the cooking method. Generally, a good starting point is 1 1/2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat allows the grains to cook evenly and prevents them from becoming overcooked or mushy.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice has finished cooking, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the grains to absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.

Conclusion:

Chinese-style rice is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. With a variety of cooking methods and flavorings to choose from, there's a Chinese-style rice dish to suit everyone's taste.
