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?

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.

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. When customers order it, seller will run a bamboo spatula around the bowl then invert the rice onto serving plate.
I ate quite a lot of lor mai kai when I was little, below 10 year-old if I remember correctly. One of our neighbours was doing dim sum business, and we always went to their house for watching TV or video. Before the show, sometimes I was asked to help them in washing aluminium bowls used for steaming lor mai kai. And, I was rewarded with lor mai kai and siew mai. By the way, we did not have electricity supply until I was around 15 year-old.
Lor mai kai is without salted egg yolk originally, but I added salted egg yolk as T loves salted egg yolk very much. Also, I have left out Chinese sausage this time, no stock on hand.
Ingredients (makes 6 servings):
3 cup glutinous rice, rinsed and soaked 4-5 hours or overnight

Tips:
Soaked rice is very fragile, do not rub it to retain its nice grain shape.
Steamed lor mai kai can be kept warm in the steamer before serving.
