Stir Fried Glutinous Rice 生炒糯米飯

We like to have glutinous rice for breakfast.  Glutinous rice from some stalls are overly soft and sticky, whereas others are too dry.  I notice some of my friends cook glutinous rice with rice cooker. I would like to share the traditional ways of preparing this dish.  In this recipe, I will stir fried the glutinous rice instead of using rice cooker.  Chinese sausage is one of the main ingredients in this dish.  I have skipped this ingredient as my children do not like Chinese sausages.  Instead, I have added plenty homemade roasted peanuts. 


Ingredients

1.  1 cup glutinous rice
2.  6-8 dried black mushrooms ( soaked and diced )
3.  2 tablespoons of dried shrimps ( soaked and diced )
4.  1 egg (Beaten)

6.  3 Tbsp deep-fried shallot

5.   Heat up pan with about 3 Tbsp of oil.  Pour glutinous rice and 1/2 cup of water into the pan and stir.  Cover the pan with lid for about 2 minutes.  Repeat this process about 2 to 3 times until rice is cooked.
