Hi Lovella,
It is great to know that your family loves it. I don’t think this comments section can upload any images though 🙂

Hi Tracy,
It looks like the rice is too dry for steaming. May I suggest the followings:
1. Soak the glutinous rice overnight instead of 4 hours.
2. More water/stock added to the rice after stir-frying before steaming.

I hope this helps.

In reply to KP Kwan. There's also vegetarian oyster sauce - the flavour without the actual essence.

In reply to Ann. Thanks for trying out the recipe. It is not very crucial of the exact amount so 2 tsp should work great. Glad to know that it turns out well.

This recipe was delicious. Thank you!
The video mentions 1 tablespoon of cornflour but the recipe reads 1 teaspoon. I used 2 tsp anyway and it turn out great !

In reply to Gemma.

Hi Gemma,
Thank you so much for pointing out the error.
The 150 ml (about half cup) of water should not be at the marinate section. It should be added after the chicken stock. Sometimes the amount of chicken stock is not enough to cook until the rice turns soft. So I add some water to cook further. (of course, you can also continue adding chicken stock.
I have amended the recipe:)

You included 150ml of water in the marinating the chicken section. But are we supposed to add the water into the marinade?

Hi Gim,
Thanks for following my lo mai gai recipe.
Never try Fan Choy, but I will keep posting the recipe that I am familiar with.

Have a nice day.
