Method:
Place rice in a large bowl and ladle hot boiling water over it until all the 8 cups of water is added. Stir rice with a pair of chopsticks or wooden spoon and then drain. Spread the rice in a strainer in a thin layer, leaving a hole in the middle so as to fasilitate the draining better. Place strainer over a bowl and let the rice drain for 30 - 45 minutes.

Fry lap cheong until fragrant and dish out. Leave aside.
Fry the dried shrimp until fragrant and dish out. Leave aside.
Fry the shitake mushrooms and dish out. leave aside.
Add 2 tbsp lard/oil and when oil is shimmering, add rice and stir to coat rice with the oil.
Add in 1.2 cup of stock and transfer rice and stock to a big microwave-safe bowl, cover the bowl and microwave on high for 2 - 3 minutes. until the stock is absorbed. Stir with a pair of chopsticks and add in another 1/2 cup of stock, cover and microwave on high for 2 - 3 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the stock, cook and stir.
Add in all the fried lap yoke, lap cheong, dried shrimps and shitake mushrooms and mix well. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes to finished cooking and the rice is cooked through. If the rice is not thoroughly cooked add in more water/stock and cook further.
Top with green onions, cilantro, fried shallots, peanuts, a dash of pepper and sesame oil to taste..

Ah, this looks great! I always have this at restaurants with dim sum, but never tried making it myself :)
Looks good! I like to eat this but not my family members.So no chance of cooking this. Maybe when I have potluck with my friends.
This is my all time favourite, next time must try to use microwave version.
I have not eaten this for a long time. Now I'm craving for it. I remember my mom used to cook this for us when we were young. Hope to try one of these days.
This is actually on my to-do list, but I have a different way of cooking this in mind. Haven't gotten the time to experiment yet. Looks great!

Your recipes always look so GOOD! I just happen to have some glutinous rice in the pantry.....I bet this would be delicious. *Grin*
Sorry I haven't said anything in a while.....we've spent the last two weeks MOVING, and the weeks before that Getting Ready. Oy. We're finally in our new place, though!

Hi Aunty Lily,
I've used your recipe many times now and it's always so delicious. I steam instead of microwave. I really appreciate the tips on substituting the ingredients with ones we find at the American Asian grocery stores.
