Steamed Savoury Glutinous Rice @ 'Loh Mai Gai' 糯米鸡 (Non-Halal)

This is one of the must have dim sum dish, other than prawns dumpling @ Har Gao when having breakfast at dim sum restaurant. But I seldom go to our local dim sum place to have breakfast because mostly of their dim sum is made of pork. My kids not really fond of it. So, still making it at home is the best. I used mostly chicken meat even the 'Lap Cheong' @ Chinese Sausage also made of chicken meat (a product from Thailand).

Ingredients :
*2 sticks Chinese sausage, sliced
*some sliced mushroom (I used fresh ones)
1 whole chicken breast fillet, sliced
2 cups glutinous rice, clean & soaked for 3 hours

Seasoning for chicken :
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tspn dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine/shaoxing wine
1 tbsp ginger juice
1 tspn sugar
1/2 tspn white pepper
2 tbsp sesame oil
(combine all ingredients and mix well with the sliced chicken & mushroom, then set aside)

Seasoning for glutinous rice :
3/4 cup water
1/2 tspn Chinese five spice
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tspn dark soy sauce
2 tpsn light soy sauce
1/2 tpsn white pepper
3 tbsp fried garlic oil
1 tspn sesame oil
(combine all and stir in to cooked glutinous rice and mix to combine)

TO ASSEMBLE :
(1) prepared 8 rice bowls and place in marinated chicken, mushroom & sliced sausage.
(2) fill in each bowl with cooked glutinous rice.
(3) then steam for 30 mins over high heat, and serve hot.


Note : Steam the soaked glutinous rice for 30 mins over high heat (without any addition of water). Then stir in the seasoning mixture once the rice is cooked.

These ready made foil packaging with cover can easily found at the specialty shop. So easy & convenient! We can keep them refrigerated as soon as it's done and then go straight to the steamer or microwave on the following day.

So from there, I started my cooking journey. And thanks to my father in law for this, otherwise, hubby won't be able to taste his traditional dish anymore. Please read on for more.

Keropok Lekor Terengganu 登嘉楼特色炸鱼饼

I can't believe it myself that I'm actually making  keropok lekor  !!! Gosh, never in my life I would imagine myself making this, Terengganu fish cracker ! Its hubby favourite. I actually wanted to buy some of these during my last visit to Terengganu but hubby said NO ! However, I knew I'm going to give this a shot when I reached home and this is it. I have fulfilled it.  Keropok lekor  is the specialty of the east and it is normally made with small fishes or leftover fishes from the market place. Unlike the common fish cracker which is thin and crispy,  keropok leko r  is slightly thicker and fishy flavoured. And I have chosen to use   ikan kembung (scomber or bloating fish ) for the test run, cause its cheap and meaty compare to other small fishes. Ingredients : 1 kg   ikan kembung or bloating fish 1/2 cup  water 1 tspn  vegetable granules 2 tspn  salt 1 tspn  pepper 200-250gm  tapioca starch Meth...
