Hokkien Festive Glutinuous Rice (油饭) is a must have item when celebrating a baby's first month birthday. Its preparation is to first stir fry the rice in cooking oil, so that individual grain can fully absorb the aroma of ingredients used, and then follow by steaming to ensure the rice is fully cooked.

Chinese dried mushroom, soaked, drained and sliced, 80g

Dark soy sauce, to taste
Cooking oil, for frying
Garnish:
Peanut, skinned and fried, 100gSpring onion, chopped, 1 stalk
