Lo Mai Kai (glutinous rice)

Again this was my mum's recipe.  I still have the small yellow enamel bowls passed down to me. You can buy the bowls from the chinese shops selling crockery but you can never get the yellow enamel ones anymore.
When you buy lo mai kai, the ingredients are very little but if you make it yourself, you can have chock-a-block of ingredients and it can be a meal by itself.  My dear hubby can devour three bowls at one go.

Ingredients for rice

1 kg glutinous rice soaked overnight
2 or 3 chicken drumsticks deboned and cut into bite size
200 gms thinly sliced pork
chinese mushrooms soaked and sliced thinly
chinese sausages sliced thinly
4 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp black soya sauce
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
water for sprinkling

Marinade for chicken and pork

1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp black soya sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger salt (only add in before cooking)
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp minced garlic (for frying only)

Use half portion of each of the above to season chicken and pork separately

Method for rice

Strain rice and discard water
Use non stick pan and heat oil, fry garlic
Add half portion of rice and fry till even coated with oil

Always remember to do a taste test
