Steps:

  1. Wash and cook rice then set aside.
  2. Dice all ingredients with the exception of the sliced mushrooms.
  3. Heat wok with sesame seed oil.
  4. Fry onions & celery
  5. Add all additional ingredients one at a time, tossing continuously.
  6. Sprinkle garlic salt over the mixture.
  7. Add the cooked rice, splash a wave of maggi seasoning over the mixture and toss again.
  8. When all combined, pour the oyster sauce over the entire blend and use a spatula to mix the ingredients.

Tips/Tricks:

When using an electric stove top, start the temperature at 6 and adjust the temperature as necessary. Keep tossing the ingredients so they don't burn on the bottom of the wok. The crucial ingredient are the Chinese pork sausages (lap cheong). This tasty protein permeates throughout the entire dish giving it a distinctive Asian flavour.

Why this recipe?

candace_dueck

I am sharing this recipe because this Naw Mi Fan dish is a homage to my late father who was an amazing chef! After he was repatriated to Canada at the age of 14, one of his primary duties was to be his mother's sous chef. This dish reminds of every holiday that had turkey as the focal point of the meal. This sticky rice dish is quite versatile as it can be substituted as the stuffing in the turkey instead of the traditional bread variety.
