    Hi! So just for plan sticky rice maybe 4-5lbs would I just soak it over night, throw it in the IP for 4 minutes with water just covering the top? I don’t have a regular steaming basket for sticky rice. And really want to make sweet sticky rice! 🤪

    you can always pre-steam that dehydrated pork belly before cutting it up if that makes it easier to cut it (also helps to drain out a little of the excess fat too. My mom would do that with the preserved sausage and pork belly.

    I LOVE "loh mai gai" (sticky rice in lotus leaves) from the yum cha restaurant in my mums town- but it's 4 hours away, I had no idea you could do this in a pressure cooker- I know it's not exactly he same recipe, but I am DEFINITELY trying this out ASAP!

    Instructions are slightly unclear. Is it on low or high pressure? Also, how much water was used and how long the rice is soaking for? Tried this recipe, but unfortunately didn't turn out right… still tasty tho hahah!

    Hi Flo. I enjoyed this video.

    The appearance of the pressure cooked rice was more gummy than your stir-fried version. I wonder if a compromise is to steam the rice in cheese cloth for only 3 minutes with quick release. Then stir-fry the partially cooked rice together adding the flavorful liquids. This way you can save some time and uncertainty with the water absorption, but still end up with the stir-fried result.

    My understanding from other videos (pailin's hot Thai kitchen) is that glutinous rice does not stand up to high heat boiling like regular rice.

    Thanks for sharing your experiment!

    What about soaking those lotus leaves? That is a long time? Can I shorten the time in the instant pot? I really love the flavour of the leaf in the rice and getting the little parcel.

    I like how you modernize recipes to make it easier to make. I find that if it marinating is a component I don’t make it. The only thing I marinate is Boeuf Bourguignon which I make with blade steak. I don’t frequent the LCBO so I use the Burgundy cooking wine from Longo’s. It always comes out tasting the same. I always cook it in the oven. Now that I know what to look for in the sausages I will go hunting.

    I enjoyed your video. I have a different recipe…I also use peanuts, oyster sauce and dark soy. The sausage I buy says 90% lean on the label. When you heat up the 90% sausage, no fat leaks from it, it's crazy. I just use a regular rice cooker

    Thank you for the recipe, I recently got a IPot as well, and starting to learn how to cook things which my grandma made for me when I was a kid. Just a quick question, the rice came out a little mushy, but the flavor was there. The whole kitchen was filled with the aromas of the preserved meat. We rescued the whole dish, by transferring the mushy rice into our rice cooker, and set it to claypot function, which then did a decent job of drying up the rice. Just wondering, if we can use less water for this, or maybe a precise amount, instead of you just saying just 'enough to cover the rice'.

    Overall, thank you for sharing this recipe and video. Nice job!

    I just got on the IP bandwagon. I tried this recipe on my Duo60 and the “burn” kicked in. This IP has no manual button. So not sure what I did wrong. I enjoyed your videos though. Will try again.

    I love watching your videos. I married a Chinese man and we have 2 kids. His culture is a lot different than mine in terms of food and cooking. We recently moved in with ye ye (my husbands dad) and I really want to impress him and my husband with making the family authentic cantonese dishes but I SUCK at cooking. To make things worse, Po po (his late wife) was an excellent cook and could cook basically anything thing you wanted Chinese or American. I have some big shoes to fill and your videos make me feel less overwhelmed.

    I tried this today in a 3 qt IP – I halved the recipe from your blog. It wasn't as salty as I'd like but I think that's b/c I didn't use the pork belly and scallops. In this case should I have added more soy sauce, or just add salt? I have found other recipes that use oyster sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, but I like the simplicity of this recipe. 🙂 Thanks Flo!

    My instant pot didn't pressurized even though I added enough water to cover the rice and ingredients. It started cooking for 4 minutes even though not pressurized. The rice mixture came out wet and very sticky after 4 minutes. I have tried making this on 3 separate occasions. Still the same. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
