Eight Treasure Rice - 八宝饭

A beloved classic from the heart of Chinese home cooking — Eight Treasure Rice (八宝饭, Bā Bǎo Fàn) is a festive, soul-warming sticky rice pudding that has graced family tables for generations.

At Shanghai Mama, ours is made with purple sticky rice, giving it a beautiful deep colour and a naturally nutty, wholesome flavour. The centrepiece is our handmade red bean paste — whole red beans ground down and lovingly stir-fried to bring out a rich aroma and depth of flavour you simply can't get from store-bought paste.

Nestled throughout are the eight treasures — a seasonal rotation of dates, nuts, and other traditional gems that vary with each batch, making every serving a little different and always a delight.

• Minimum portion size: 350g per piece

Serving Suggestions 🍨

Eight Treasure Rice is delicious on its own, but why not take it to the next level? Try it with:

• A scoop of vanilla or matcha ice cream
• A drizzle of sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk
• A little melted chocolate for a fusion twist

How to Serve 🍚

Remove all plastic packaging before heating. Your Eight Treasure Rice arrives frozen and ready to heat. Here’s how to enjoy it:

• Steaming (recommended): Place the frozen rice in a heatproof bowl and steam over boiling water for 15–20 minutes until heated through. The traditional way — and the best!
• Microwave: Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and splash a little water over the top to create a steaming effect. Heat and check throughout cooking as microwave power levels vary.
• Serve warm for the best texture and flavour — everything is already cooked, so as long as the centre is warm, it’s ready to enjoy. The sticky rice softens beautifully and the red bean paste becomes wonderfully gooey.

From our home to yours — enjoy every treasure. 🏠
