Ingredients(6)

Glutinous rice (sweet rice), dry43.8 g
Chicken breast, lean, cubed117.0 g
Yellow mung beans, peeled and split, dry13.1 g
Shallots, thinly sliced and fried in oil15.5 g
Scallion oil (scallions sautéed in oil)7.2 g
Fresh pineapple (for natural sweetness and glaze)43.8 g

Instructions

1

Soak the glutinous rice for at least 4 hours. Steam the rice with a pinch of turmeric until tender and glossy.

2

Steam the mung beans until soft, then mash them into a smooth, thick paste.

3

Poach the chicken breast cubes gently in a light ginger-infused water until just opaque and tender; drain well.

4

In a small pan, simmer finely chopped pineapple until it reduces into a sticky, golden glaze; toss the chicken in this glaze to coat.

5

Assemble by placing a mound of warm, yellow rice on a plate. Spread a generous layer of the warm mung bean paste over the rice.

6

Top with the glazed chicken, a drizzle of fresh scallion oil, and a shower of crispy fried shallots. The dish should be aromatic, combining the savory depth of mung bean with the bright, sweet-tart finish of the pineapple-glazed chicken.
