Veggie Sticky Rice

Okay, so I made this a while ago. As in a month ago. I didn't get around to putting it up though since I had other stuff I wanted to put up first. HEEHEE.

That and because I like the non-vegetarian version way more. I'm a meatatarian! I try to blame it all on Hubby but it's true. I love my meats.....for some dishes anyway and this is definitely one of those dishes. But anyway, I decided to make this vegetarian cuz I had some leftover char siu and didn't want to dice it up into this dish. I rather eat the char siu whole as a side for this rice. It worked out pretty well. I think I might be able to use this as a side dish for other meat dishes in place of plain white rice. HMMM...

Note: I did use my Instant Pot to make the sticky rice, so the 1 "cup" is really 160ml, not the traditional 240ml cups. :)
