Ingredients

  • 2 cups glutinous rice
  • 8 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/3 cup dried shrimp
  • 2 dried scallops
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3 links Chinese sausage, diced
  • 2 cups hot water, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, or to taste

Method

  • Soak rice in a large bowl of water until mostly translucent, about 4 hours. Rinse and drain thoroughly.
  • Soak mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops in 3 separate bowls of water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving mushroom water and discarding other water. Chop mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops into small pieces.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour eggs into skillet, swirling to spread out into a thin layer. Cook until mostly firm, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until no longer runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer egg to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Roll into a long tube and slice into thin ribbons.
  • Stir Chinese sausage into the same skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until fragrant and some of the oil is released, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops; cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer sausage mixture to a bowl.
  • Stir drained rice into the skillet. Cook and stir until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in reserved mushroom water, stirring constantly until water is absorbed. Add hot water, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until water is absorbed between each addition. Cook until rice is softened, about 25 minutes.
  • Season rice with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Stir in egg ribbons and sausage mixture. Top with cilantro before serving.
