XÔI MẶN — Vietnamese Savory Sticky Rice - Oral Traditions Happy Family Night Market

Instructions 1. Soak rice for a few hours, or overnight. Drain and steam for 20 minutes. If using a rice cooker, cook with 1 ½ cups water. 2. Meanwhile, slice the chả lụa into ¼ inch thick rounds, and then into strips. Slice the Chinese sausage into ¼ inch thick pieces. Cook the Chinese sausage first. Add shallots, and slightly fry in the fat until caramelized. Cook mushrooms, then add in remaining ingredients. 3. Combine with the rice, and adjust seasoning if needed. 4. Portion about a half cup of rice into the center of each leaf or parchment, and wrap into a tight package with all sides tucked in. Note: If steaming without leaves/parchment, line the steamer with a piece of parchment and steam the rice for another 20-30 minutes. 5. Place the packages seam-side-down in steamer and steam for an additional 20-30 minutes. 6. Let cool, unwrap, and eat! Keep wrapped in banana leaves when reheating in steamer or microwave.
