Lo mai gai

Description

Lo mai gai is mostly a southern Chinese food. It contains glutinous rice filled with chicken, Chinese mushrooms, Chinese sausage, scallions and sometimes dried shrimp. The ball of rice is then wrapped in a dried lotus leaf and steamed. In North America, banana, lily, or grape leaves may be used instead.

In Malaysia and Singapore, there are two variants of lo mai gai. The first is the original Cantonese version and the other a takeaway style served at coffee shops and speciality local dim sum shops. The takeaway style has glutinous rice served with chicken and are usually made by companies such as Kong Guan.

Variant

Sometimes lo mai gai is divided into smaller wraps, which are known as chun zhu gai () literally meaning “pearly chicken” in Chinese.

Due to the flexibility of the lotus leaf, Lo mai gai is typically wrapped to form a square. Zongzi is wrapped using bamboo leaves into a triangular shape.
