糯米鸡 Loh Mai Kai

11.10.13 (Friday)
This was my first time cooking Loh Mai Kai..I saw this simple recipe on Facebook for quite some time but haven't really try on it. Since I ran out of ideas on what to cook for dinner, so I decided to dig out this recipe and give it a try..

I cooked the mushroom over hot water till they became soft..then pre-soaked the glutinous rice (about 250g and made 7 bowls of Loh Mai Kai) overnight in the fridge..and just cook by following the steps..For my first attempt, the rice was a bit tasteless coz I didn't put enough of salt when I stirred fried the rice..Other than that, it tasted good.

I roughly translated the Chinese version of recipe into English..Hope you can understand :P

Wash the glutinous rice and soak overnight. (put it in the fridge)

2）鸡腿肉和浸软的香菇用蚝油，麻油，黑酱油，绍兴酒，胡椒粉，蜜糖，姜汁腌过夜。
Seasoned the drumstick meat & macerated mushroom with oyster sauce, sesame oil, dark soya sauce, shao xing wine, pepper, honey and ginger sauce. (overnight)
**as the recipe didn't mention about the portion of the seasonings, so I just use my own estimation.

3）用油炒香蒜头，放入沥干的糯米下去炒，加入盐，五香粉和黑酱油炒，我加了水下去焖炒至糯米软。
Stir fried garlic. Add in the glutinous rice and continue to stir fry. Add salt, spices powder and dark soya sauce. Add water and fried stew till the rice got softened.

Add a bit of water (slightly covering the rice) and steam for 30mins. Ready to serve.
