Fan Choy a.k.a steamed rice 饭菜

I saw this Fan Choy in Honey Bee Sweet's IG. According to her, Fan Choy is a common breakfast in Singapore. It does look like Lor Mai Gai 糯米鸡 , but Fan Choy is consists of Char Siew (BBQ meat) and Hard- boiled eggs steamed with rice or glutinous rice.  I love everything with glutinous rice, immediately I make this Fan Choy ^_^.

 

I find use store-bought Char Siew is quicker than use chicken like Lor Mai Gai..

 



 

You have to adjust the seasonings for the rice, as the Char Siew sauce from difference stall might taste differencely.

 

And this time I did not pre-cooked the glutinous rice like last time, simply use the raw rice and just need to steam longer.

 

Like usual, we enjoyed this with chili sauce, yum!
