Lor Mai Kai
Ingredients:
400g glutinous rice (rinsed and soaked for 4 hours or preferably overnight)
200g chicken (chopped into bite-sized)
Chinese mushrooms (soaked and cubed)
Garlic
Ginger
Sesame oil
1 cup water
Seasoning:
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp thick soy sauce
1 tsp Shao Hsing Hua Tiau wine
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 tsp sugar to taste
Method:
Drain soaked glutinous rice in a colander. Heat sesame oil and fry ginger and garlic until fragrant. Add chicken, mushrooms and seasoning ingredients.
Toss well to combine. Add glutinous rice to mix. Pour in water and stir until water is absorbed into the rice.
You may put in a few slices of lap cheong (chinese sausages) into each deep bowl. Spoon glutinous rice into the bowl until almost full to the brim.
Press slightly. Steam the filled bowls over a medium heat for 30–35 minutes or until rice is done. Turn out the rice and serve immediately.

The Queen says:Â psstt… *paiseh, the one in the pic is left over. The chocolate thing is the look of cold gravy just out from the fridge.

wow! My favourite “lor mai kai” yummy! Sure i will want to do it one day.But why we need to put ginger ah?
The Queen says: Ginger is for taste only. While transfering the glutineous rice into smaller bowl for steaming, remove them.Â

how to make glutinuos rice?
The Queen says: You have to come back to Malaysia. Dig up a plot of land and filled them up with water and start growing your own glutinous rice. After 6 months of harvest you get what we called glutinous rice. *tsk, tsk* Dunno should laugh or cry 🙄
