Instructions: Combine the seasonings mix ingredients.

Melt the butter over high heat. Add the onions, squash, and seasoning mix. Cook, stirring occasionally for 13 minutes, then remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a blender. Puree the mixture and return it to the pot. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and add the rice. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30minutes. Add 1 cup of the water and simmer for 30 minutes longer. Add 2 cups water and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the remaining water and the cane syrup, simmer for 5 more minutes, remove from the heat and serve.

NOTES :
Note that glutinous rice is also called pearl or short-grain rice. You could probably use a medium grain, or even a long grain rice if thats all you have. But if you do, hold back a little on the final water as these rices arent as starchy.

Personally, Id use a teaspoon of olive oil and forgo the butter. Id also use a good vegetable broth in lieu of the chicken stock. I automatically make these kind of vegetarian substitutions.
