Chicken Glutinous Rice 糯米饭(cantonese called it Loh Mai Kai) is one of our favorite breakfast. My mum-in-law usually prepare the ingredients one day before. In the morning she will place them in small ricebowls and steam them for our breakfast. Glutinous rice is always my favorite. In whatever style, whether is dumpling or those brown glutinous rice with dried shrimp and black mushroom, they are always my favorite. I love them but it is "heaty" and sometime it cause indigestion. I used to bring this chicken glutinous rice to my office. My colleagues love it . My mum-in-law is really good at making this, and I would prefer to eat those that she made. So until today I have not learn how to make this(i mean practical) because I still prefer my mum-in-law's chicken glutinous rice. However, my friends in a group saw my posting and had requested for the recipe, and my mum-in-law is more than happy to share with us. This is how she make this dish ....
