Lor Mai Gai is a traditional Cantonese dish, usually eaten as dim sum which is also known as snack. I guess authentic Lor Mai Gai is usually wrapped with lotus leaf but in Singapore, we usually eat it straight out from the plate. In English, this dish is literally known as Glutinous Rice with Chicken or Steamed Sticky Rice with Chicken. The base for Lo mai gai is usually glutinous rice, chicken, Chinese mushrooms, Chinese sausage, scallions and at times even dried shrimp or salted egg. What you add to your Lo Mai Gai is entirely up to you. Isn’t that the beauty of homecooking?

Also soak mushrooms and Chinese sausage for around 10 minutes, remove casing and thinly slice the sausage. Lor Mai Kai (糯米鸡)- Glutinous Chicken Rice This is Malaysian style glutinous chicken rice (Lor Mai Kai - 糯米鸡) that I grew up eating. In the old days, it was common to see a lot of small aluminium bowls sitting in the large steamer at the dim sum restaurants or stalls selling dim sum.
