Lor Mai Kai

One of the item on my mind is "Lor Mai Gai". Don't ask me why. This idea just suddenly came to me when I was doing my assignment. Coincidentally, my friend also gave me a packet of dried mushroom. Hence, this is gonna be the first dish I'm going to make this week. Here's the recipe, hope you will like it:


Ingredient:

500g Raw glutinous rice, rinsed, soaked overnight
350g boneless chicken thigh 
10 dried mushroom, soaked and stems removed

Seasoning for rice

3 Tbsp light soya sauce
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
3 Tbsp sesame oil
1/2 Tsp salt

  • Seasoning for chicken
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp light soya sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • Dash of pepper 
  • 1 Tbsp cornflour
  • 1 Tbsp Mirin

  • Method
  • 1. Cut chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the chicken.
  • 2. Discard the water used for soaking the rice and place rice in a heat-proof bowl.
  • 3. Add the seasoning for the rice.
  • 4. Fill with enough water to the same level as rice. Then place mushrooms on top. (Note: I forgot to use "lup cheong" aka Chinese sausages today, you may wish to add this)
  • 5. Steam for 50 minutes to an hour until rice is cooked.
  • 6. In a bowl, arrange the chicken and mushrooms (gill-side up) in a layer.
  • 7. Fill the bowl with rice and pack it in tightly. The bowl should be filled to the brim. Do the same for the rest of the bowls.
  • 8. Steam for ten minutes.
  • 9. To serve, put a plate over the bowl, then flip over and remove the bowl.
