Sticky Rice “Stuffing”

Are you in need of a dish to bring to a holiday meal that is sure to please all palates?  Perhaps you’re seeking a dish with some Asian pizzazz for your holiday dinner.  Well friends, this super simple dish is for you!  It’s a stuffing (or dressing as some call it) recipe that has the scrumptious seasonal flavors of cranberries and apples with an Asian flair.  Instead of the traditional bread base, we’re using glutinous/sticky rice which is just as hearty and satisfying.  If you’ve never tried baking sticky rice, you’re in for a treat.  It has a texture very similar to risotto.  There aren’t a whole lot of Asian dishes you can toss into a casserole dish and bake so hooray to this convenient and super easy dish.  Hope you’ll give it a try!
