Sticky Rice With Chinese Sausage

Sticky rice with Chinese sausage may be a staple on cuisine carts (you’ll usually see it in overturned glass bowls–as little sticky rice “domes”), and it’s actually very easy to form.

This sticky rice recipe is analogous to the sticky rice with chicken (lo mai gai) we have already got on the blog, but less complex in terms of ingredients and kitchen prep.

Sticky Rice With Chinese Sausage

Traditionally, this sticky rice with Chinese sausage dish is usually made by taking uncooked sticky rice that’s been soaked for hours, and putting it directly within the wok for stir-frying. However, to shorten the cooking time and to simplify the method , many restaurants used cooked sticky rice instead, which is what we recommend also . In my opinion, when done right, pre-cooking the rice makes little or no difference within the finished dish.

Season with white pepper to taste and blend within the scallions. You'll serve it as is or if you would like to urge fancy, you'll pack the rice into a pleasant round bowl rinsed in warm water and switch it over on a plate. Garnish your sticky rice with Chinese sausage with cilantro and serve.

INGREDIENTS :

1 tablespoon oyster sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
¼ cup chicken stock (60 ml)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 cups uncooked sticky rice (400g, also known as “Sweet Rice” or “Glutinous Rice”)
¼ cup dried shrimp (soaked for 15 minutes in warm water)
1 medium onion (finely diced)
5 dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked in warm water until softened and diced)
3 links Chinese sausage (cut into small discs)
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
white pepper (to taste)
2 scallions (chopped)
Cilantro (to garnish, optional)

INSTRUCTIONS :

Cook the sticky rice according to the directions on the package and set aside to cool (we usually just make it in our rice cooker). You can also use our method for soaking and steaming the sticky rice to pre-cook it.
Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauces, sesame oil, chicken stock, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 30 seconds to bring out the flavor. Next, add the onion, mushrooms and Chinese sausage, and stir-fry for another minute, taking care not to burn the onion. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Add all of the cooked sticky rice to the wok and break it up as much as possible with a spatula. Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the rice (it helps to add the sauce over any clumps of rice to help break them up). Mix well, using a scooping motion to ensure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the wok. Add the rest of the sauce and stir-fry until the rice is uniform in color.
Season with white pepper to taste and mix in the scallions. You can serve it as is…or if you want to get fancy, you can pack the rice into a nice round bowl rinsed in warm water and turn it over on a plate. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

This hearty Rigatoni with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Zucchini is for you! It’s so flavorful and easy enough to make on a weeknight!

Rigatoni With Sausage, Tomatoes, And Zucchini

I’ve been enjoying the leftovers for lunch this week and I’m going to be so bummed when I finally run out! The base is a fresh tomato sauce that’s loaded with sausage and zucchini. But it’s not a marinara sauce! Instead it’s made from 2 pints of juicy grape tomatoes, white wine (or chicken broth) and a little tomato paste. It’s a little lighter than the typical red sauce, making it perfect for Summer! Also perfect for dipping a piece of garlic bread or a few garlic knots.

INGREDIENTS :

1 lb Italian sausage (mild, sweet, or spicy will work)
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tablespoons tomato paste
1 lb rigatoni
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups grape tomatoes
1 cup white wine or chicken broth
2 small zucchini, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Handful fresh basil, chopped
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS :

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add oil to a large, wide pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add in the onion and crushed red pepper and cook until the onion is very soft, about 10 minutes. Add in the sausage and, using a wooden spoon, break it into small pieces. Cook until sausage is brown and no pink color remains.
Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste.
Add in the tomatoes and wine (or stock) and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to burst and give off their juices, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to gently press the tomatoes if they're not bursting on their own. Stir in the zucchini and cook for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, add the rigatoni into the boiling water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
Drain the pasta, reserving a 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Toss the pasta immediately into the pot with the sauce and stir well to combine. Add in some of the reserved cooking water, if needed. Finally, stir in the basil.
Remove from heat and divide among serving bowls. Top with cheese and serve at once!
