  • Lotus leaf chicken Make Tips

    1. The time to steam the chicken depends on the size of the chicken
    2. The glutinous rice must be soaked overnight
    3. After putting glutinous rice into the stomach of the chicken, be sure to add appropriate amount of water, otherwise the glutinous rice will not be cooked and will become raw (or you can count the glutinous rice in advance before stuffing it in)
    4. It is best to use fresh lotus leaves. If not available, use dry ones.
