- 3 or 4 scallions, slivered

- Rinse, soak and steam rice according to directions in the recipe for Basic Sticky Rice.
- While rice steams, cook bacon and sausage in a wok or skillet over medium heat, to render a little fat.

- Add red chiles and dried shrimp and cook for 1 minute.
- Add mushrooms, season well with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and sweet wine.
- Stir and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze.
- Add 1/2 cup water and simmer 1 minute.
- Turn off heat and add cooked sticky rice.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and mix well with 2 spoons to incorporate.
- Serve immediately or transfer to several individual heatproof bowls.
- (Rice may be reheated later in a water bath.)
- If desired, invert bowls onto plates.
