I finally scored some dried lotus leaves after nagging the guy at the
local oriental grocery about them. I can now start experimenting with my
favorite dim sum goodie, lo mai gai. These tasty morsels are made by
combining steamed sticky (sweet) rice with various goodies such as
Chinese sausage, mushrooms, dried shrimp, chicken, chestnuts (not all at
once!), wrapping in half a leaf, them steaming. Tomorrow's lunch,
hopefully.
