Steamed Sticky Glutinous Rice With Chicken aka Lo Mai Gai 糯米鸡




Steamed Sticky Glutinous Rice With Chicken aka Lo Mai Gai 糯米鸡 - A classic Dim Sum dish and these are the comfort food of many especially those residing in Singapore and Malaysia. The recipe shared in this blog post is the Malaysian style Lo Mai Gai. So tasty, moist and flavourful. 



I started my first experiment making Lo Mai Gai in August 2014. That was after I saw a friend posted a photo of Lo Mai Gai on Facebook. I was tempted because I love Malaysian style Lo Mai Gai that is dark in colour that I couldn't find in Singapore. The very dark soy sauce added in the Lo Mai Gai gives a unique flavour to this dish. 



My first attempt in year 2014.

3. Place the chicken chunks and mushrooms in a bowl, pat dry with kitchen towels. Add in all seasoning (B) and mix well. Marinate at least 2 hours or overnight. 





4. Heat oil in a skillet, add in 1 portion of garlic followed by spring onion, fry until fragrant. Add in chicken meat and mushrooms, reserve the marinades. Stir fry until almost cooked, add in marinades and corn starch solution. Mix to combine. When the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat.




5. Heat oil in a skillet, add in the remaining garlic and fry until fragrant. Add in the glutinous rice. Stir fry until no more sizzling sound. Remove from heat.










Prepare for steaming:

6. Lightly grease 3 ramekins with shallot oil/ sesame oil. In each ramekin, place a slice of chinese sausage, some mushrooms and chicken chunks. Layer with glutinous rice and add hot water (about 50ml each). Cover with aluminium foil, steam for 40 minutes or until cooked through.

Steamed Lo Mai Gai using Ninja Foodi,
this time I made four as per my kid's request for extra servings.
If you do not want to use aluminium foil,
alternatively you can use stainless steel bowl with cover.

Appliance: Ninja Foodi OP350
The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance, it's super-efficient and time-saving. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash. I've attached the details and links below for easy reference.

7. To serve: Place a plate on the ramekin, secure both sides and turn upside down, the steamed glutinous chicken rice will 'drop' out nicely. Serve right away.
