糯米饭 {lor mai fan}

joanna doesn't like bread... so breakfast can be boring... so i asked her what does she like for breakfast... and she said 糯米鸡...

haiyo... where i find this here for her nei..?

so i started to search for the simplest recipe on the net... and this was the closest 糯米-anything i can find... the rest were too tedious...

this is so good that we had it for 2 consecutive days... and i made extra to store in the fridge... or freezer... to be served when the gals return hungry from school... =)

ingredients
3/4 tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tbsp chopped ginger
400g glutinous rice
200g chicken (cubed)
2 shitake mushroom (cubed)
1 chinese sausage (lap cheong)... didnt add this cos dun have.. =(
2 tbsp dried shrimp (soak 5min and drain)
1 tbsp sesame seed oil

seasoning:
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
3/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp chinese cooking wine
250ml water
salt and pepper to taste

1. Drain rice after soaking overnight or for at least 4hrs.
2. Heat sesame seed oil. Fry garlic and ginger till fragrant.
3. Add chicken, dried shrimp and mushroom.
4. Add seasoning and toss well.
5. Add rice and allow it to soak up all the sauce in the pan.
6. Fill bowl with rice and press slightly.
7. Steam for 30-45min.

the above is the lazy way of doing this... you can actually dish up the ingredients after step 4... before you add the rice...

use the dished up ingredients to line the bottom of your bowl... before topping it up with rice...

i cling wrap the rice and store... so there is instant food when the gals need it..! =)
