Instructions

6 steps

1
Steam Sticky Rice: Drain the soaked rice and toss with a pinch of salt. Steam in a bamboo or metal steamer for 25-30 minutes until the grains are translucent, chewy, and fully cooked.

2
Cook Sausage and Shrimp: In a dry skillet, fry the sliced Chinese sausages until they release their bright red oil and become crispy. Remove the sausage and use the rendered fat to briefly fry the soaked dried shrimp until fragrant.
3
Make Egg Strips: In a non-stick pan, pour the beaten eggs to make a very thin omelet. Once cooked, roll it up and slice into thin ribbons.
4
Prepare Base: Scoop a generous portion of hot sticky rice into a bowl or onto a plate.
5
Layer Toppings: Smear a spoonful of pâté directly onto the hot rice. Drizzle generously with scallion oil and a few drops of soy sauce or Maggi seasoning.
6
Assemble: Top the rice with the crispy Chinese sausage, fried dried shrimp, egg ribbons, and a large pinch of fluffy pork floss. Serve immediately while hot.
