Sweet Rice with Chicken & Chinese Sausage

This is one of many sweet rice recipes being used in Asian cuisines. A version is served at Chinese dim sum restaurants called sweet rice shau mai. The ingredients can be changed to suit the taste of the cook. I like mine and hope you like it too.
Ingredients:
2 cups sweet rice, soaked overnight
2 Chinese sausages
2 dried shitake mushrooms, soaked in water
1 egg, beaten
1 chicken breast*
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped sweet onions
2 green onions, sliced
Soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper

Directions:
Drain sweet rice and place into steamer and steam until the rice is cooked (about 15 minutes).
In a skillet over medium heat, add oil. Pour beaten egg into the skillet and make an omelet.
 Remove.

Let It cool and cut into small strips
Slice sausages, chicken breast and soaked mushroom and set aside.
In a skillet, sauté' sausage for 3 minutes.

 Move from the side of the pan and add chicken. Sauté' chicken until golden brown. Season with salt, soy sauce. Remove the chicken and sausage. Keep warm.

In the same pan, add onions, garlic and sugar. Stir onion -garlic mixture until fragrant. Add mushrooms, stirring until mushrooms cook through.


 Bring back sausage-chicken mixture. Mix well. Season again with soy sauce, black pepper.

To serve:
Place sweet rice on a plate. Top with sausage-chicken mixture and a few strips of omelet. Sprinkle with green onions and fried shallots.




*I like to use roasted chicken breast because it makes this dish tastier and cook faster. If using uncooked chicken, marinate the chicken with fish sauce, salt, sugar, and black pepper.
