@Anonymous: Thanks for sharing your dad's method. The above recipe allows you to keep and steam later, aka Dim Sum restaurant method. So, the steaming time is shorter and the food safety is taken care of.

My dad's method is simpler. After soaking the rice grains overnight, he'll mix the rice grains with seasonings and steam the rice together with the marinated chicken. What is the added benefit of steaming the rice 2 times and frying the chicken before steaming?

@Anonymous: You're most welcome! I'm not sure about the other recipe, mine turns out soft too. If you like a more softer texture maybe try adding a little water but not too much though. Otherwise the rice will be mushy.

Thanks Angie! I read other recipes that require water and oil to be added to the rice, together with the other seasonings, before steaming. Is it necessary and would that help to make the rice taste softer?

@Anonymous: You have to add the seasoning while the rice is still warm. If the rice is hard and lumped together, wear a food safety glove and mix the sauce into the rice with your hand. Then steam the rice a bit longer. It should work.

I just tried your recipe. I steamed the rice the first round and set it aside. When I went back to add seasoning, the rice is hard and lumped together - hence difficult for me to add in the seasoning. Where have I gone wrong?

@Divina Pe: Yes but there are several types of leaves for wrapping the rice too.

@Elin: You are welcome and thanks for the comment.

@restaurantgroupie: Thanks.

@Pamela: 1. I'm using a 2-tier steamer. 2. No, I have not made them in a single bowl but I'm sure you can do that with a large steamer. I have not tried using a rice cooker though.

Some questions on the steaming:

1. How are you steaming the glutinous rice with chicken exactly? Are you using a bamboo steamer?

2. Have you ever made this in a single big bowl or steamer, intead of using separate ramekins or bowls? I imagine that one can steam only a few bowls at a time, even if you have a gigantic pot or steamer. This means to make ramekins or 4 stainless steel bowls require at least two steamers going simultaneously. I wonder if I could save time by just dumping everything into one big pot and cooking it all at once--say, a rice cooker.

Suggestions?

Thanks so much for all your recipes, as always.

Mmm, yum. Is this the same glutinous rice where you wrap it in some kind of a leaf before steaming it?
