Steamed Glutinous Rice

I had cooked glutinous rice before but was with rice cooker. Today I tried using steaming method. I find that both tasted the same (lol). So I think rice cooker more convenient. But my eldest sister still cook the best glutinous rice (hahaha). But this time round, I did not add more dark soya sauce to make the rice look darker, so my rice is whiter. Ingredients:
1 kg glutinous rice
50g dried mushroom (soak with water)
50g dried shrimps (wash and drain)
200g pork belly/lean pork
100g shallots (small onions)
350-400ml water
1 tsp chicken flavour seasonings
1 tsp salt or to taste
Cooking oil

Seasoning:
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp light Soya sauce
2 tsp dark Soya sauce
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp sesame oil
Garnishing:Fried peanuts (optional)Spring onions for garnishingFried shallots (smalls onions)

Method:
Wash the glutinous rice and soak in water. (No need to soak over night, 1/2 -1 hour will do)
Slice softened mushroom, pork and shallots thinly.
Use half of the seasonings to season the mushroom and the other half for the pork.
Fry the sliced shallots and set a side and do the same with the dried shrimps.
Fry the mushroom well then add the pork and fry for about 5 minutes.
Drain the glutinous rice and add into the mushrooms and pork.
Put in half of the fried shallots; keep the other half for garnishing add in all the fried dried shrimps, the chicken seasoning powder and salt.
Fry for a few minutes.
When it is well mixed, add in the 350 ml of water and turned off the flame.
Stir well.Put into a big pan and steam for 40 minutes or until done.
You may sprinkle some water on it if you find the glutinous rice is still hard or uncooked.
