chinese sticky rice

This is a Chow family favourite, usually served at major holiday feasts, like Christmas and Easter. Last year Stirling's grandmother showed me how to do it so this year I decided to make some for Easter Sunday dinner. It seemed pretty easy, although I did use a slightly wrong type of rice and forgot one ingredient. Fortunately, Nanny came to dinner and brought a batch of sticky rice she made up, so I could taste the difference and get it right next time! (Mine wasn't bad though!)

Here, for posterity, is the definitive recipe:

3 cups cooked Chinese sweet (glutinous) rice, mixed with 1/2 cup regular long-grain rice.
1 small onion
2 chinese sausages
5 or so dried chinese mushrooms (shiitake-esque)
1/8 cup or so dried shrimp
couple tbsp cooking oil
1/4 cup or so oyster sauce (check label to make sure it contains actual oyster extract)

Rehydrade the shrimp and the mushrooms beforehand.

Finely dice onion, sausage, mushrooms and shrimp and stir-fry til everything is all nice and cooked and the onion is slightly coloured. Dump it in the cooked rice, add the oyster sauce and stir to combine. Add more oyster sauce if necessary.

Yum!
