INSTANT POT CHINESE STICKY RICE | Loh Mai Fan

INSTANT POT CHINESE STICKY RICE
This is a classic and delicious Cantonese rice dish that you can make anytime in your Instant Pot. It is also eaten at Chinese New Year or other special occasions.
Ingredients:
1 cup long grain glutinous rice (sometimes called sweet rice)
1/2 cup jasmine long grain rice
3 Chinese sausages
1/4 cup dried shrimp
4-5 dried shiitake mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
2 stalks of green oils
Sauce Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing Chinese cooking wine
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 teaspoon pure sesame seed oil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Do ahead step:
Soak the dried mushrooms in 2 cups of warm water for 2 to 4 hours, until they have softened
Method:
1. Wash the glutinous rice, cover with cold water and soak for 30 minutes, then drain, and set aside.
2. Wash and drain the regular jasmine rice and set aside.
3. Soak the dried shrimp in 1/2 cup of warm water for 15 minutes
4. Chop the green onion, separating the green part from the white part.
5. Chop up the Chinese sausage into small pieces.
6. Chop up the garlic.
7. Small dice the re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms, and reserve the soaking water.
8. Roughly chop the dried shrimp, and reserve the soaking water.
9. Add the sauce ingredients together, mix and set aside.
10. Using the saute mode of the Instant Pot, saute the chopped green onion(white parts only) for 30 seconds, add the garlic and saute for another 20 seconds.
11. Add the chinese sausage and saute for another 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 2 minutes.
12. Add the glutinous and jasmine rice to the Instant Pot and stir to combine everything. Then turn the saute mode off.
13. Add the sauce and mix to coat the rice.
14. Add the reserved dried mushroom and dried shrimp soaking water to the Instant Pot. The liquid should be about 2 cups. This liquid should be enough to just cover the rice. Add more water if needed.
15. Put the lid on and set the Instant Pot on the “Rice”mode which will be 12 minutes on low pressure.
16. Naturally release the Instant Pot for 5 minutes before opening. Gently fluff up the rice with a spoon and add the rest of the green onions as garnish.
Enjoy the incredible umami flavour of this classic Chinese rice dish!

Just made this! Thank you for creating a recipe where you only have to wash one cooking vessel and don't have to struggle to stir a giant clump of sticky rice with the other ingredients, and that is also not overly oily! This didn't require too much effort, with great results. Thank you! Two thumbs, way up!

[@HondaFamily88]

Hi Francine. Thank you for posting this video. I've been trying to make dim sum style sticky rice (non-Instant Pot) with minimal success. My rice would come out too mushy. Your method works perfectly!! Do you know if this recipe is scalable? If I want to make 2x the quantity, do I need 2x the water mixture in the Instant Pot?

[@francineshuen]

Hi Howard! Thanks for watching my video and trying out my recipe! I totally think this recipe is scalable. If you double the glutinous rice and the jasmine rice, I would double the liquid to about 4 cups. You might need to add more sauce as well to get the same umami taste! I hope it turns out for you! This recipe is totally worth it to double because it's always a crowd-pleaser.

[@annielee7848]

I tried your recipe, but the sticky rice came out a bit too wet for me, still edible, it is more like the texture of Jung. I think I might need to adjust the amount of water. It is tasty though. Thanks!

[@francineshuen]

Thank you for your comments. Someone else told me that it was too wet as well. I will need to update the recipe, and add about 1/2 cup less water.

[@user-mj8hs1gh5i]

Thank you for the recipe! I have found that if you want to double it, it is best if you do the sautéing in a separate pan. Once mixed add everything to the IP and add the rice, sauce, and liquids. Works great!

[@francineshuen]

That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing this tip!

Hi, can opt out the wine n replaced with something or is optional, it's for the Chinese Muslims community

[@francineshuen]

Yes, you can omit the cooking wine, and it will turn out just fine. Thank you!

[@hingchoyridwanchang4993]

@@francineshuen sorry one question it’s difficult to get the halal Chinese sausage can replace it with honey chicken “dengdeng”

[@anniema9988]

Hi I just made this and it was perfect and delicious. I would like to double the recipe should I add 4 cups of liquid or maybe less?

[@francineshuen]

Hello, thank you for your comment, it made my day! I'm glad you like the recipe. I have often thought of doubling this recipe too, but I have not actually tired. I think you should add a bit less than 4 cups of liquid because liquid evaporates less when cooking with the Instant Pot. I do hope it turns out, and if you are feeding a crowd, I hope they enjoy it!

[@hingchoyridwanchang4993]

Hi, followed your recipe and it taste good. Replaced the lapcheong with honey chicken. Skipped the Chinese wine for our Muslim community. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. My daughter loved it and I shared it with my neighbour too.

[@francineshuen]

I’m so happy you followed my recipe and also made it your own by making some of your own ingredient substitutions! Thanks for sharing!!

[@anokhirecipesofpv6877]

Very nice

[@francineshuen]

Thank you!

[@dianaong4989]

Hi Francine. Why did you do jasmine rice mix and not all glutinous rice? Glutinous is a sweet rice right? Thanks

[@francineshuen]

Hi there! Yes, glutinous rice is sweet rice. I just find if I use all glutinous rice in this recipe, the rice is too sticky. I like the texture better when I mix some jasmine rice with the glutinous rice. Thank you so much for watching my video and for your question! Happy cooking!!

[@graceleedumas4047]

Hi! I tried your recipe & technique & the rice turned out really soft & bouncy, but I noticed with my IP “rice” setting, even though it said 15min, it took over 45 minutes to start another count down of 21mins. Also there was a thick layer of burnt seasoning (from the sauce) & rice at the bottom. That was not the case when I closed the lid to cook. What am I doing wrong?

[@francineshuen]

Thanks for trying my recipe. For my Instant Pot, the rice setting is 20 minutes, and it takes about 10-15 minutes for it to reach high pressure. I am not sure why your IP took 45 minutes. Perhaps try setting your IP to 20 minutes manually and see if that makes a difference. As for the burnt sauce and rice on the bottom, make sure you start with a very clean pot, and mix the sauce with the rice so that it coats the rice. Also ensure there are no burnt bits on the bottom by stirring well before closing the lid. I hope this helps!

[@weinatalie6132]

Francine, I'm going to try this weekend. Looks easy and delicious. My Instant Pot doesn't have a "rice" button, shall I just set it at low pressure for 12 mins? Thank you!

[@francineshuen]

Yes that should do it. I really hope your sticky rice turns out ! Enjoy!

[@triciabeebee4785]

How much does one recipe feed?

[@francineshuen]

Hi Tricia, This recipe makes a medium size bowl full of sticky rice that can easily be enough for 4 people . But usually I will make this dish as a side dish for a party or family gathering at Christmas or Chinese New Year, and after everyone has had a scoop of it, it's all gone! So if it is being used as a side dish for a big gathering, I would consider doubling the recipe.

[@anthonybennett9611]

Hello Francine. I would subscribe and I'm sure always hit the like thumbs up. Too bad I usually can't hear what you are saying even with full volume. I especially wanted to try your Jook recipes.

[@francineshuen]

Hi Anthony, Sorry about that, I understand that I don't have a very loud voice. This particular video has poor sound editing because it is one of my older videos. l hope to increase the sound of my voice through editing. I also try to add text/captions so that my instructions are easy to follow even if you can't hear me talking. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!!

[@taradeng4746]

You are so cool !

[@francineshuen]

Thank you !! So are you!

[@sherlynyou7030]

Looks really good!!! Can we use high pressure instead to shorten the time? Thank you:)

[@francineshuen]

That’s a good question. I usually just use the rice button low pressure for rice as it works and the cook time is not that long. If you do try using high pressure with shorter cook time, let me know how it turns out!

[@sherlynyou7030]

@@francineshuen sure😉 I'm getting one tmr!! Hopefully high pressure works😄

@@sherlynyou7030 I hope you love your Instant Pot! Let me know how your sticky rice turns out!

[@Police644]

Can I cook sticky rice like normal rice in my instapot? Cover sticky rice with water and cook?

[@francineshuen]

Yes, you can, but because the Instant Pot uses pressure, you might need less water.

[@kirbygo3569]

Question: if I'm doubling the quantity, do I double the cooking time ?

[@francineshuen]

I wouldn’t double the cooking time. I would keep it the same or increase by a few minutes. I hope it turns out for you. Happy eating over the holidays!

[@loveyourfamily-acookingcha2312]

Looks yummy and you have the same glass bowl as mine :) (costco?)

[@francineshuen]

Thanks YT! No, I didn't get the bowl at Costco, I got it at outlet mall. It's a good size, and i find myself using it all the time!

[@dblchin]

If I triple the ingredients, how much more time should I use to cook the sticky rice?

[@francineshuen]

The cooking time should be approximately the same using the rice button.

[@donatellocourt7043]

Is one cup of rice as in US measuring cup? Thanks

[@francineshuen]

Yes, it is!

[@AnitaShek]

Hi, i made it. But rice was stuck to the base. It that normal ?

[@francineshuen]

No that is not normal. Make sure your Instant Pot liner is super clean before you start. When you sauté the ingredients, make sure to stir the bottom constantly so that nothing burns and sticks to the bottom. Thanks for your comment and for trying my recipe. Really appreciate it!

[@W_Sushi]

This happens to some types of the instant pots. Try this: when you add the rice, keep it at the top, don't stir. It works very well too, you can stir when it's done.

[@karacakesgrace8842]

Hi, I followed on your recipe and method both times, and my instant pot showed BURN FOOD on the LED panel. 1st time I thought I was cooking it 3 min longer thar caused it to burned. Today, I followed your 12 min, still the pot showed food burn on the screen with 5% rice uncooked. And you didn't showed in your video on the pot of rice. Did your pot has burnt bottom too?

[@francineshuen]

Hi and thanks for your comment. Sorry, that your pot showed BURN FOOD on the LED panel and that your rice was uncooked. :( No, I have never seen that message come up on my Instant Pot. When I make sticky rice, it is not burned on the bottom. Did you have some food stuck on the bottom of the Instant Pot liner that burned while the Instant Pot was on?

[@pickleball456]

perhaps there was some rice stuck to the bottom. make sure you stir and mix the liquid in well

[@floraho4905]

Can I use a normal rice cooker to cook this

[@francineshuen]

Yes you can but you will need to brown all the ingredients in a pan before adding to the rice. I save time when i use the Instant Pot. Thanks for your question! 🤗

[@DragonFruitDelish1]

Can I use fish sauce in place of drued shrimp?

[@francineshuen]

Hi, I would just omit the dried shrimp if you don't have any. Fish sauce does not have the same taste as dried shrimp, do not add fish sauce. Thanks

[@DragonFruitDelish1]

@@francineshuen Hi Francine, thanks for replying. What are your thoughts on shrimp paste instead of fish sauce? Would that come close? Where would dry shrimp be found in an Asian store? Is it refrigerated, in the freezer section or in a bag at room temperature?

[@hingchoyridwanchang4993]

It's very rare to have this in the market now.

[@francineshuen]

Yes, I agree. So it's a good idea to keep this dish going by making it yourself. It's not that hard to make, especially in the Instant Pot.
