Ingredients

• 2 cups sticky rice washed and soaked in water for at least 1 hour
• 3 tbsp dried shrimps soaked in hot water
• 3 Chinese sausages
• 100 g Vietnamese ham cut into strips
• crispy dried shallots
• quail eggs
• pork floss (optional) 2 inches thick
• quail eggs
• salt, pepper, chicken stock, sugar
• dark soy sauce
• vegetable oi
• garlic minced
• shallots thinly sliced

Instructions

• After soaking the rice in water for 1 hour, drain it very well, add salt chicken stock (½ tsp each), 1-2 tsp dark soy sauce, 2 tsp vegetable oil. Give it a good toss. Then add water just enough to cover the rice (about 1 cup of water). Cover and cook in the rice cooker as normal.
  
• Heat a pan on medium high and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then add some minced garlic and thinly sliced shallots and fry until fragrant. Then add sliced Chinese sausages. Stir-fry for 1 minute and then add some water to soften it. Then add the softened dried shrimps. Stir for 15 more seconds, and then add the "Cha lua" strips.
  
• Lower the heat or just turn it off and add the seasonings: 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp chicken stock, 2 tbsp soy sauce. Mix really well then turn on the heat again. Keep mixing for another 1 minute on low heat and then turn off the heat. Also add in the hot boiled quail eggs and sprinkle some freshly cracked pepper on top.
  
• To prepare the scallion oil, place some chopped onion in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to give it some taste. Then pour some hot oil over it or pour some vegetable oil and then heat it up in a microwave for about 15 seconds.
  
• When the rice is cooked, fluff well with a pair of chopstick. Transfer to a serving plate and add the toppings. Garnish with some crispy fried shallots and some pork floss. Finally add some scallion oil.
