    STEAMED RICE WITH PRAWN AND LOTUS LEAF

    What’s the best part of this dish? I would have to say the rice. It absorbs the flavour of the garlic, the prawn juices and the fragrance of the lotus leaf. The perfect simple yet tasty dish! Even simpler if you have chilled leftover rice from the day before.
