Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 Chinese sausages, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice several times until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, vegetable oil, and sugar.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sliced Chinese sausages. Cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the rice cooker or pot. Add 2 cups of water and the soy sauce mixture. Stir to combine.
