Final Product
Vegetarian Sticky Rice not only has an eye-catching color but is also appealing with the nutty, fragrant taste of mung beans and the savory flavor of stir-fried mushroom filling blended with the soft, sticky, hot glutinous rice. Adding a little fried onion to this dish would be perfect.
Tips for successful execution
- It is recommended to use a mixture of pandan leaf juice and water spinach to create color. If you only use pandan leaf juice, the sticky rice when completed will have a light green color, which is not appealing.
- The sautéed filling should be drained of excess oil to be dry. This will help the rice ball taste better and not be mushy.
Tips for storing sticky rice
Sticky rice can be stored for a week. Place the sticky rice in the refrigerator, and when eating, just steam or microwave it for 3 – 4 minutes to serve.
