Ingredients

• 2 cups Sticky rice
• 2 Youtiao
• 1 cup Pork floss
• 0.5 cup Pickled mustard greens
• 1 Century egg
• 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tsp Sugar

Steps

1. Steam the sticky rice 25 minutes until translucent and tender. Season warm with a pinch of salt and the sugar; it should taste faintly savory-sweet.
2. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter and spread a thick rectangle of rice on it, wetting your hands so it does not stick.
3. Line the center with a whole youtiao, a stripe of pork floss, pickled greens, and wedges of century egg. Do not overfill — the roll has to close.
4. Using the plastic wrap, roll the rice up and over the filling into a fat log, pressing firmly. Twist the ends to compact it.
5. Unwrap, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and slice in half. Eat warm, in hand, like the breakfast burrito it secretly is.
