Hi guys!
It’s second episode for Asian at Home Holiday!! Thank you so much for all your love for this series!! I was quite nervous to share these Asian at Home Holiday series because I didn’t know how you guys will be react toward to it.. Now I know all of you really love new delicious spins for your traditional meals!
Today I’m going to share my Sticky Rice Stuffing. It’s a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving meal or a perfect pairing with my Korean Glazed Turkey. Also great way to bring a delicious side to your Thanksgiving potluck!!
I honestly think you can enjoy this stuffing thought out the year, because it is way too good to eat only once a year! lol
You can add poultry seasoning or bay leaf as you wish for your taste! I actually recommend to add poultry seasoning if you are going to serve this stuffing with traditional classic turkey table. I figured it works better without poultry seasoning to serve with my Korean Glazed Turkey. So it’s totally up to you!
You can add any type of nuts that you already have in your hand. Pecan, walnut, almond and more… it all will work!
As I mentioned on the video, you can make this recipe either Thai long grain sticky rice or short grain sticky rice, both will work for this recipe. However, long grain sticky rice will be break really easy after they soaked, so be careful!! Just wanted to give you a heads up!
Hope you guys enjoy this Sticky Rice Stuffing recipe and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Your video is private. I can’t watch it.
Can this be made in advance and popped into oven to reheat???? Will it still be tasty without nuts?
I prefer to make this dish on time, because sweet rice recipes could be tricky. Without nuts, you will miss some of the crunch texture! I’m so sorry I couldn’t reply to your comment earlier than today! I was traveling Korea filming a show “Life in Korea”… Hope everything turned out great and you had a delicious & lovely Thanksgiving!!! <3 XOXO
I would like to add chestnuts and Jujubees (daechu) to this and not add the nuts. do you think that will work?
I think it will work beautifully!! I’m so sorry I couldn’t reply to your comment earlier than today! I was traveling Korea filming a show “Life in Korea”… Hope everything turned out great and you had a delicious & lovely Thanksgiving!!! <3 XOXO
Looks so good!! I am planning to cook this for Thanksgiving along with your turkey recipe.
Can I double the recipe?
You can definitely double the recipe! I’m so sorry I couldn’t reply to your comment earlier than today! I was traveling Korea filming a show “Life in Korea”… Hope everything turned out great and you had a delicious & lovely Thanksgiving!!! <3 XOXO
I made this for Thanksgiving and it came out so delicious! I had to use Anjou pear instead of the Asian pear and chopped walnuts. My husband was hesitant to try it at first because of the pear and cranberries, he ended up eating most of it! Love your recipes! Thank you!
This stuffing was served by the couple who hosted our Friendsgiving. Everyone raved and requested the recipe. I could have made my entire dinner out of this stuffing—it’s that delicious!
YAY!! SO happy to hear that Cate!! ❤️❤️❤️
