Today I bought some aluminium bowls to make Lo Mai Kai again as this is my family's favourite dim sum.
The price of the aluminium bowl i bought is RM 0.20 (USD 0.06) per bowl which consist of a bowl and cover, not that expensive huh...
This time I slightly adjusted the method and seasonings from the earlier Lo Mai Kai recipe as I lazy to cook the chicken and mushroom, but the result still good.
Lo Mai Kai (steamed savoury glutinous rice with chicken)

2. Mix all seasoning with chicken and mushroom in a bowl, set aside for 1 hour.
3. Mix all seasoning and water with drain glutinous rice in a rice cooker.
4. Cook glutinous rice in rice cooker and fluff the rice with a fork when rice is cooked.
5. To assemble Lo Mai Kai- place 1-2 pcs of chicken, mushroom and sausage in a aluminium bowl. Cover with steamed glutinous rice.
6. Cover and steam Lo Mai Kai over medium high heat for 30mins.

my note- if you dont own a rice cooker, you may steam the rice with water over medium high heat for 30mins.

YUMMY! This is my fav too, haven't made this in awhile.
I had the urge to drool at food so thought I'd visit your blog and gosh, you make me crave all sorts of food eh!!
Sonia,
I tried this recipe. it is indeed very good. My family loved it!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I have linked you to my post. Thanks!!!
Hi Sonia, this looks yummy. I normally steam the glutinous rice. For cooking using electric rice cooker, how much water do you add as compared to regular long grain rice? I guess how long you soak the rice for means less water required? Pls share your experience. Thanks.
Michelle
Hi Sonia, please help me out.....I don't want to use the rice cooker to cook the rice. So does it mean I steam the rice 2 times? Once on its own without the chicken, mushroom and sausage and another time in the foil bowls with the chicken, mushroom and sausage? Hope you understand what I am asking about. Thanks!
teo ai li, you can check this fan choy recipe where I didn't cook rice in rice cooker

Hi Sonia,
My family loves Lo Mai Kai, and we live in USA where you can't buy it anywhere, so I tried using your recipes , it is so moist and flavorful, I made extra to freeze for last minute hungry spurt. Thank you soooo much for sharing your skills. Bless you for your talents and heart.
