# Lo Mai Gai

Cuisine: chinese · Time: 90 minutes · Servings: 4

## Ingredients

- 1 lb glutinous rice
- 12 oz water
- 4 lotus leaves
- 4 salted egg
- 1 Chinese sausage
- 3 oz chicken drumstick meat
- 2 oz char siu
- 6 pieces dried shiitake mushrooms
- 3 red shallot
- 4 oz water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp water
- 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
- 0.5 tsp Kikkoman® Tamari Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon
- 2 tsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp water
- 2 tsp Kikkoman® Sesame Oil
- 3 oz water
- 0.5 tbsp Kikkoman® Oyster Sauce
- 1 tsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil

## Steps

1. Pour some warm water into a large bowl or pot and submerge the lotus leaves for 2 hours. You can keep them submerged by putting a heavy bowl on top of the leaves.
2. Wash the rice at least three times.

Many people soak the rice for a few hours before steaming but Daddy Lau chooses to cook it right after washing because it's easier.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the salted eggs into the water to cook for 2 minutes. Once cooked, place the eggs into a bowl of cold water.
4. Peel off the chicken skin from the drumsticks with a paper towel. Then, start deboning it by cutting the meat lengthwise along the bone to expose it.
5. If you have dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before cutting them. Make sure to save the water for later!
6. Next, we'll start stir-frying our ingredients. We'll set our stove on high heat, and let the wok heat up for 2-3 minutes.
7. Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, tamari, chicken bouillon, sugar, and salt.
8. Once cool to the touch, peel the eggs and let them completely cool before gently peeling the egg whites off to expose the egg yolks.
9. Take the mushroom juice left over from soaking the dried shiitake mushrooms and combine it in a small bowl with water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and oil. This sauce will help the glutinous rice to loosen and make it easier for us to wrap the lo mai gai.
10. Now it's time to fill the lotus leaves. Set up your station by having all the ingredients within reach.
11. Pour water into the steamer and place the steamer on the highest heat. When the water is boiling, it's time to load up the steamer with the lo mai gai!
