Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak glutinous rice for at least 4 hours, then steam for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dice chicken and mushrooms, then marinate with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry the marinated chicken and mushrooms until nearly cooked.

  4. 4

    Soften lotus leaves in warm water, add rice and filling, then wrap tightly.

  5. 5

    Steam the parcels for another 25 minutes until fully done.

Tips

Banana leaf works as a substitute for lotus leaf.
Pre-steaming rice prevents a mushy texture.
