Dim Sum Style Sticky Rice with Sausage (Instant Pot)

Labels:
This dish has that legitimate dim sum taste, and is super easy to cook. However, I rarely make it because the Chinese sausage is so notoriously unhealthy. I only buy the ones with the Vietnamese translation (i.e. lap xuong) on the package because that's what I grew up eating.

Approx:
Serving size: 4-5 servings
Duration: 1 hour

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup dried shiitake mushrooms 
  • 1 cup glutinous rice 
  • 3 links Chinese sausage, chopped 
  • 1.5 cups water or chicken broth (or half and half to reduce the saltiness)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce 
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce 

Directions

  1. Soak the dried mushrooms in hot water and let them sit for at least 20-30 mins to soften.
  2. While waiting, prepare the other ingredients. Add them all to the Instant Pot.
  3. Once softened, slice the mushrooms into very thin pieces, and add them to the Instant Pot. 
  4. Stir all ingredients and close the lid. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
  5. Once cooking is done, release pressure naturally for 10-15 minutes.
  6. After the brief natural release, switch to a quick release for all remaining pressure. 
  7. Open the lid, stir to mix well, and allow all the rice mixture to absorb all the liquid.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
