1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup water
3 cup short grain glutinous rice, rinsed
4 1/2 cup water
3 chinese sausages, cut into rounds
3 tablespoon dried scallop, reconstituted
2 tablespoon red dates
1/3 cup chestnuts, roasted and peeled
3 tablespoon gingko nuts
3 tablespoon chinese ham, cubed
1 teaspoon dried shrimp
2 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine
1/3 cup sugar, or to taste
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1/3 cup edamame, peeled
3 tablespoon scallions, green parts only, sliced thinly on a bias, for garnish
1/2 cup shaoxing cooking wine
1 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup hoisin
2 tablespoon oyster sauce

Directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Place the turkey in the sink, and with a large ladle, pour the boiling water over the skin of the turkey until it becomes tight and slightly blanched. Dry well with a clean paper towel.
Add the rice wine vinegar, maltose, and soy sauce to a pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat, and brush the mixture all over the turkey. Season with the salt, pepper, and five spice powder inside and out. Allow it to dry uncovered in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 nights.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the canola and sesame oils together and reserve on the side with a brush for basting. Fill a baking dish with 1 cup water, and place a rack on top large enough to hold the turkey. Place the turkey on the rack, and roast, brushing occasionally, for about 2 ½-3 hours or until juices run clear when a pairing knife is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. Allow to rest 15 minutes before carving. Reserve the cooking liquid from the baking dish.
Rinse the rice 2 times in cold water and drain. Place all ingredients except the edamame and scallions into a shallow, nonstick pot. Bring to a boil, stir, and cover. Turn the flame down to the lowest setting. Cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fold in the edamame. Taste and adjust seasoning, and garnish with the scallions.
Place the baking dish from the roast turkey on the stove and set over medium-high heat. Add the Shaoxing cooking wine and stir, removing any brown bits stuck to the bottom by scraping with a wooden spoon. Reduce by ½. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
