Lo Mai Kai (Steamed Glutinous Rice with Chicken) 糯米鸡
Lo Mai Kai (steamed glutinous rice with chicken 檽米鸡) is one of the popular item that you can find in the Chinese dim sum restaurants. There are 2 types of steamed Lo Mai Kai, one is wrapped with lotus leaf called Hor Yip Fan 荷叶饭 (lotus leaf rice) which is lighter in colour, while the one that I’m posting today is placed in individual small shallow bowl or disposal aluminium foil cups. These can also be found in coffee shops or hawker stalls. This Lo Mai Kai (steamed glutinous rice with chicken) dim sum can be steamed ahead and stored in the freezer and simply re-steam as and when required.
