Instructions
Soak glutinous rice for 4 hours, then drain and toss with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and a pinch of salt. Steam until tender and glossy, about 25 minutes.
Steam mung beans until soft, then mash into a firm, cohesive paste. Set aside.
In a small pan, stir-fry the finely diced chicken breast with a splash of fish sauce and a touch of palm sugar until golden and cooked through.
Prepare the scallion oil by pouring hot oil over finely chopped scallion greens until sizzling and fragrant.
To assemble: Spoon the warm yellow sticky rice onto a plate. Spread a generous layer of the mung bean paste over the rice. Top with the glazed chicken, a handful of crispy fried shallots, and a generous drizzle of the scallion oil.
Serve warm, perhaps with a side of pickled daikon and carrot for brightness.
