Marinate : mixed well seasoning in a bowl n put in chicken n mushroom to marinate for 1-2 hr.
Step :
1) Heat wok with 1 tbsp oil with mild flame stir fried lapcheong till fragrance. Put aside
2) add in well marinated chicken n mushroom stir fried till chicken just cook. (Marinate sauce dun add in keep for cooking G/rice)
3) scoop out the chicken n mushroom put aside without the sauce.
4) wash 3 cups glutinous rice n use 3 cups of mushroom water with the remaining sauce taste to your taste.. put in rice cooker n cook.
5) once rice is cook. Place and arrange lap cheong, chicken n mushroom into the aluminium foil bowl or u may use small rice bowl.
6) steam it with big flame for half an hour.
7) unmould n serve with chilli sauce.
For the rice part I soak it for a few hours n I fry it with garlic plus soya sauce n dark soya sauce some five spice powder n pepper. Somehow like doing 粽子. before displaying onto the LMK n lotus rice.
For lotus leave glutinous rice, I use half a kg of rice. Since already doing might as well do more. You can add in salted egg yolk, peanut,chestnut, dry scallop n oyster as yr preference.
I am more 重口味so pls add according to yr taste bud. For seasoning I added more as usual. If your taste bud is lighter,pls follow Evelyn recipe exactly.
Lotus leave you Gota soak in over night n rinse it well the next day n leave it to hang to dry before wrapping. You can buy it from Ntuc or wet market.
It's a rather long recipe but in general it's just fry the ingredients n rice then just display n steam it that's all.
