Soulful Glutinous Chicken - Loh Mai Kai
Soulful Glutinous Chicken A.K.A Loh Mai Kai
Usually the Loh Mai Kai will have these main ingredient which is the " Lup Cheong" - the chinese sausage and "Char Siew "- bbq pork, but as for my Loh Mai Kai i do without it because i don't like pork.
If you are not like me don't eat pork, then by all means add the Lup Cheong and the BBQ pork into in it will definitely enhance the flavor of the glutinous rice.
