Glutinous Chicken Rice

Cooked another round of glutinous chicken rice. This time round, instead of throwing everything inside, I did it the prettier way - cooking the chicken and glutinous rice separately and combine them just before serving. The chicken is more succulent because I stewed them properly, and the rice is more properly cooked as well.




Just before serving, arrange the chicken, mushroom and waxed sausages nicely in a rice bowl and top with glutinous rice and compact everything nicely. Upturn the content onto a plate to serve.
