Sticky Rice Dinner

Sticky Rice Dinner » RecipeCollage.com » May 28, 2025
This was super fun and loved in our house! We love sticky rice. We eat a lot of sticky rice. If you like sticky rice, you’ll love this dish!
Sticky rice should be well rinsed and I like to sit it in water on the counter for a couple of hours. I used 2CUPS rice.
Banana leaves (used these so my bamboo steamer stays clean and holds the food together-you should be able to purchase these cheap at your local Asian store) lay out a couple of layers down. I used 2 steamer trays.

Average 4 pieces of carrots per person
1bokchoy each
1/2 a mushroom each thinly sliced
2 shrimps each
2chicken dumplings each
4-5thinly sliced pork each person
Sliced green onions
Beat eggs
You can put whatever meat, fish and or vegetable you prefer in. This is the stuff we like.
I used a few TBSP of my homemade garlic chili sauce with a couple TBSP of oyster sauce to marinate pork and shrimp.

45minutes to an hour later it should be done. Keep steamer closed for 10minutes and let rest.
We use this steamer!

Aloe Vera

This stuff is excellent on so many levels! Can be used for a variety of things. One of my favorites, is for my hair!
It’s dry in Alberta, I find it provides the best hydration. Excellent for the scalp, dry skin and gives an awesome shine!

Lucky would be so happy LOL
In Alberta we have a lot of international markets, grocery stores. We prefer these over the big name stores, excellent deals and good selection! Best of all, can’t beat the prices!

Use a sharp knife. I like to use a cleaver. Cut the spikeys off down each side, then give pressure on top and run knife along bottom and top of Aloe.
