About Lor mai gai

Lor Mai Gai, a popular Cantonese dim sum dish, consists of glutinous rice steamed with marinated chicken, Chinese sausage, dried mushrooms, and occasionally preserved Cantonese flavors such as soy sauce and oyster sauce. Originating from southern China, it is often served in small portions, packed into a bowl or wrapped in lotus leaves for added aroma. While Lor Mai Gai is rich and flavorful, its glutinous rice base is high in carbohydrates, making it an energy-dense option. The inclusion of chicken provides a good source of protein, while mushrooms contribute dietary fiber and essential nutrients like selenium. However, the dish's sodium and fat content can be high, especially in versions with preserved sausages and seasoning sauces. Moderation is key when enjoying Lor Mai Gai, as it offers a satisfying balance of taste and nutrition within the broader context of a healthy diet.
