How to prepare Fried Sticky Rice with Pork Floss
-
Cook sticky rice
Rinse the sticky rice with water to remove dirt. Then add enough water to cover the rice and soak it for 4 – 5 hours or overnight if you have time.
After soaking, drain the sticky rice in a sieve to remove excess water. Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the rice and mix well.
Place a steamer pot on the stove, add water, and bring it to a boil.
Line a thin cloth (the type used to cover food) under the steamer basket, then place the soaked rice on top, spreading it evenly and making a hole in the center of the steamer. Steam the rice for 20 – 25 minutes.
After 20 minutes, use chopsticks to fluff the rice, then drizzle a little water evenly over the surface. Continue steaming for another 5 minutes until the rice is soft.
Serve the sticky rice on a plate and let it cool completely.
-
Press and fry the sticky rice
Use a round plastic lid and put a sufficient amount of sticky rice into it, spread evenly and press firmly.
Tip:
- If you don’t have a plastic lid, you can use a small bowl wrapped in plastic wrap or lightly grease it with some cooking oil, press the rice into it to create a round shape.
- Another quicker way is to spread the sticky rice on a tray that has been greased with a little cooking oil and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Place a pan on the stove, add 100ml of cooking oil and heat it up, then slowly drop the sticky rice into the pan, frying on medium heat until the rice is golden and crispy on both sides, then remove it and let it drain on a paper towel.
-
Sprinkle pork floss on
After the fried sticky rice has completely cooled and drained, sprinkle the pork floss evenly over the surface of the fried sticky rice.

How to fry crispy and delicious sticky rice
- When frying sticky rice, heat the pan first, then add cooking oil, wait for the oil to bubble before adding the sticky rice to fry. Do not fry with oil that is too hot and smoking.
- When frying, do not let the pieces of sticky rice stick together; it will be difficult to take them out. Fry with a moderate amount of sticky rice, not too much to avoid lowering the oil temperature and making the sticky rice not crispy and delicious.
- If the sticky rice sticks to the pan, turn off the heat, tilt the oil to one side, and wait for the pan to cool down, and the sticky rice will come off on its own.
How to choose good sticky rice for cooking
- Good sticky rice grains ensure they are of uniform large size. The outside should be shiny, the grains should not be broken, should not have dust, and have a yellow color. There should be a natural, distinctive aroma.
- The best type of sticky rice for cooking is goose sticky rice – which has long, large grains resembling small goose eggs, milky white color, with a natural, light aroma. When cooked, it expands just right, is very sticky, soft, and fragrant. Moreover, sticky rice remains deliciously sticky after cooling.
- If goose sticky rice is not available, you can use other good types of sticky rice such as upland sticky rice, velvet sticky rice, yellow flower sticky rice, or other types of sticky rice. However, depending on the type of sticky rice, the flavor of the sticky rice will vary.
