I am so delighted to find this Lor Mai Fun recipe. Thanks to B for sharing despite him selling this. Really generous of him.
With the removal of the excess starch, this dish tasted like normal fried rice but with a chew. My family likes it alot.
Going forward, this might be added to my pot luck list.
What you need:
2 cups glutinous rice
Ice water (for soaking)
2 tbsp shallot oil
1-2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp sugar
Method:
Soak the rice the night before.
The next day, rinse the soaked rice under running tap water for at least 10 mins to remove excess starch.
Steam the rinsed rice for approx 40 mins. Let it cool by soaking the rice briefly in tap water and separate the grains with your hands. Then strain to remove excess water.
Heat a wok and add shallot oil, stir in the steamed rice.
Add fish sauce, white pepper and sugar. Fry until the rice grains are dry and the moisture evaporates (approx 10-15 mins).
You can add in dried shrimps, dried scallops, dried mushrooms. All hydrated before hand and prepare according.
I have added pork to it as well. You can add your choice of meat.
