Lately Braz' favourite thing to say has been "mmmmm that looks nice... DO YOU THINK I COULD MAKE THAT MYSELF?" So after reading Jennifer Yee's book Discovering Asian Ingredients, it suddenly dawned on Braz that...he could make his own sticky rice! Choooice.

| The filling - chicken, Chinese mushrooms, coriander... |
 |
| The recipe |
 |
| Braz keeping the parcels tight but letting his second chin sag |
 |
| The real thing! |
 |
| Stacked up parcels |

| Lazy Sunday breakie in the Yee household - Jook, worteps and sticky rice mmmm |
 |
| Shazza's chicken jook (congee) |
 |
| Parcel of goodness |
 |
| Step 1 - Unwrap |
 |
| Step 2 - Break open the rice and drizzle with a bit of light soy |
 |
| Step 3 - EAT! |
The sticky rice was a good experiment but a few improvements could definitely be made. The rice was a bit wet and once again due to Braz' inability to follow the recipe and add a bit of salt, the rice was also a bit tasteless. Oh well, next time Braz!
Yeah it's trial and error. You need to add some soy to the rice mixture first gives good flavour inside......and wrap the buddles tighter than you think.....Ps I'll get Jenny to tell ya the real secret next time I see her.
