I'm certain this is a truthful local practise for Full Moon. Not a Chinese way, but to a greater extent than of Malaysian.
Here, at that topographic point are a few foods used to celebrate total Luna of the baby. Some serve or giveaway Pork Trotters inwards Vinegar, piece roughly volition prefer turmeric rice. If I'm non false (pls right me if I am wrong), the Malays purpose this for celebrations. For weddings, for giving thanks, for birthdays.. together with sometimes shaped similar a cake for the event. So, the Chinese who settled hither took on the practise of using this to celebrate joyous occasions, specifically for Full Moon. Instead of serving this amongst rendang, the Chinese serves this amongst curry chicken. I cooked creamy curry chicken to larn amongst mine.
This is my commencement fourth dimension doing this, together with I'm non certain when volition I live cooking this again. I promise it's non to celebrate my ain kid's total Luna 1 time to a greater extent than (Oh please, no more, LOL), but possibly for friends together with family. I mightiness ready this for personal consumption, but no! no! no! Not my ain baby's total Luna inwards the future. No more!
For Reuben's Full Luna party, I planned my card carefully, trying to salve work, trying to utilize all the cooking aparatus inwards my kitchen to speed upward work. The oven and the microwave volition live used thence that non everything volition live over the stove. Foods tin live cooked simultaneously amongst all iii apparatus equally I alone conduct maintain thence piddling time. Steaming volition conduct maintain likewise long if I'm cooking 2kg of rice.
Recipe source: Wendyywy
Yields: 50servings in 4oz containers or 25 rice bowls of turmeric rice (fluffed, non packed)
ii kg gummy rice / sugariness sticky rice
ii tsp turmeric powder
1 Tbsp lemon/lime juice or roughly white vinegar (just take something lightly acidic)
half dozen cups water
Few blades of pandan leaves
ii tsp salt
500ml thick kokosnoot milk (not likewise cold)
1. The nighttime earlier cooking (Or v hours earlier cooking), launder gummy rice thoroughly. Soak rice inwards water. Make sure water is double the pinnacle of the rice because the rice volition expand well-nigh 50%. Put inwards turmeric pulverisation together with lemon juice. Stir the rice good thence that the turmeric pulverisation is good dispersed.
2. When it's almost time to ready the rice (Give yourself 1 hr minimum in advance earlier serving time, but I did it v hours ahead), drain the rice properly. Rinse the rice to launder off turmeric powder. Rice volition all the same live stained "lemon yellow", don't worry.
3. Bring half dozen cups H2O together with pandan leafage to boil together with allow it simmer for v minutes to convey out the pandan's fragrance.
*this indicate forward, instructions are based on one-half the rice*.
4. Place one-half the rice into a microwavable vessel (I purpose a 5L Corningware vessel). Pour one-half the pandan infusion over rice. The infusion should live at the same score amongst the rice, non likewise much. Put inwards 1 tsp common salt together with stir.
5. Place lid over or comprehend amongst plastic roll together with zap on high for 10 minutes. Let the rice repose for 10 minutes thence that it volition ready amongst the residual heat.
6. Remove rice from microwave together with stir it gently. Zap rice on high for roughly other v minutes. While rice is zapping, ready 250ml of thick kokosnoot milk.
7. When the microwave buzzer sounds, take rice from the microwave oven together with hold off through the lid. The rice should hold off fully translucent, amongst non a white tinge inwards sight. Do non take lid unless yous are certain the rice is cooked.
8. If the rice is non cooked, provide to the microwave together with zap it for a few to a greater extent than minutes. If it is fully cooked, together with thence take the lid together with apace pour inwards the thick kokosnoot milk. Stir it amongst a yoke of chopsticks thence that the kokosnoot milk volition live coating every grain of the rice. Do non stir likewise long thence that yous won't lose likewise much of the heat.

10. Repeat pace 4-9 amongst repose of rice.
If yous are daring plenty to ready all 2kg at 1 one, yous may. I'm non that brave.
*If yous retrieve to steam the rice, at that topographic point is no take to purpose the pandan infusion. Just house the rice over an oiled net/fine colander together with steam it. Line the base of operations of the colander amongst pandan leaves if yous want. When the rice is cooked, simply pour the rice into a big bowl, add together common salt together with kokosnoot milk together with mix until all the milk is absorbed.
My mom together with MIL helped pack the rice into iv oz aluminium muffin liners together with covered amongst newspaper liners.
It's rather not covenient to conduct maintain people trying to dig their percentage of the sticky rice. It's improve to conduct maintain it slap-up together with tidy inwards private servings.
