Lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken
Overview
Lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken is a famous snack in Guangdong. Ever since I fell in love with food, I have wanted to make all the snacks in Guangzhou. No matter whether they are authentic or not, as long as I work hard, my visit to Guangzhou will not be in vain. This dish does not have too many seasonings, just the original taste of the food - the simple taste. Returning to nature is the true meaning of health.
