Instructions
1
Prep
Drain the soaked glutinous rice and mung bean in a sieve and rinse briefly under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.
2
Steam
Line a steamer basket with muslin, spread the rice and mung bean in an even layer, and steam over high heat 25 minutes until the grains turn translucent and stick together.
3
Poach
Place the chicken thigh in a small pot, cover with water, add 1/4 tsp salt, and poach over medium-low heat 15 minutes until cooked through.
4
Rest
Let the cooled chicken cool on a plate 15 minutes until cool enough to handle, reserving a splash of the poaching liquid.
5
Toss
Pull the chicken meat and skin into fine shreds with your fingers, discard any bone, then toss with scallion oil, fish sauce, sugar, black pepper, and half the sliced scallion.
6
Plate
Spoon the steamed sticky rice into a bowl and press lightly with a spoon to compact it. Pile the dressed chicken over the rice and scatter with fried shallots, remaining scallion sliced thinly, and roasted peanuts crushed.
