Lo Mai Fan | Steamed Glutinous Rice with Pork, Chinese Sausage & Dried Mushroom Recipe

Learn how to make Lo Mai Fan (also called Chinese sticky rice) made with glutinous rice that are steamed with pork, dried mushroom & Chinese sausages. They're pretty easy to make but there are steps you need to make ahead like soaking the rice for a couple of hours (to let them soften a bit), soaking, slicing & sautéing toppings for a seamless assembly later. For me, this is already a meal in itself, hence the overload of toppings.
STEAMED GLUTINOUS RICE WITH PORK & CHINESE SAUSAGE RECIPE
Ingredients & procedure:
4 rice cups Glutinous Rice (rinse and soak in water for 3 hours or more)
4 Lap Cheong or Chinese Sausage ( I used 2 each of Duck Liver & Pork) soak in hot water to easily remove casing, slice thinly
10 small pcs of Dried Mushroom (wash & soak in hot water until tender, remove stems, slice thinly & rub 1 tbsp of sugar to keep them from absorbing saltiness from the dish) Save water from soaking to be used later.
¼ kilo Pork (remove skin, slice thinly and marinate with 1/2 tbsp each of soy sauce & oyster sauce,1 tsp each of 5-Spice Powder, chicken powder , salt & corn starch, some ground white pepper & sesame oil)
Finely sliced ginger, minced garlic & 1 sliced red onion (divide by 3 for sautéing mushroom, pork & rice)
1 chicken cube dissolved in 1 cup hot water
Corn starch solution (1 tbsp corn starch dissolved in 2 tbsp water)
OIl for sautéing
Lemon Zest (optional)
Sauté onions, garlic & ginger, cook sliced mushroom for about a minute, set aside
Sauté onion, garlic & ginger, add marinated pork, when the pork have browned a bit ,add about 1 cup of mushroom water, simmer for 1-2 minutes, thicken with corn starch solution, remove from heat when sauce has thickened (you don't have to fully cook them, they will be steamed later) set aside
Sauté onion, garlic & ginger, (this is optional, add strips of lemon zest to impart some citrussy aroma to the dish) add drained glutinous rice, add dissolved chicken cube, & 1/2 cup of mushroom water , add 1 tsp oyster sauce, pinch of salt, some ground white pepper and 1/2 tsp 5-Spice powder , remove from heat once water evaporates. Set aside.
To assemble, use a deep bowl that can be used for steaming, arrange sausages, mushroom & pork on the bottom & sides of the bowl then add rice, press down the rice to make it more compact, add any sauce left from the sautéed pork
Steam over high heat for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked, you can also check by tasting the rice
To serve, gently run a knife on the edges of the bowl for easy removal then put a plate on top of the bowl, use towels to hold plate & bowl (it's hot), then invert. Best when served hot.
