Instructions:
Step 1
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Drain the soaked rice thoroughly and steam it in a rice cooker or a steamer for about 30 minutes, or until it's cooked and sticky.
Step 3
While the rice is steaming, prepare the Chinese sausages, liver sausage, preserved pork belly, and preserved duck leg by slicing them thinly.
Step 4
In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry for a few minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced Chinese sausages, liver sausage, preserved pork belly, and preserved duck leg to the wok. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start to turn slightly crispy and brown.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and white pepper. Pour this sauce over the meat mixture in the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Step 7
Add the cooked sticky rice to the wok and stir-fry everything together for about 5 minutes, ensuring the rice is well coated with the flavorful meat and sauce mixture.
Step 8
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring well. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Step 9
Serve the Lap Mei Fan hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy this delicious Hong Kong specialty with friends and family!
