  4. If using BBQ chicken or possibly duck, take meat off bones.
  5. If using shrimp, shell, rinse and drain.
  6. If using dry mushrooms, soak in hot water till soft (up to one hour).
  7. Rinse, squeeze dry and stem.
  8. Dice the combination of ingredients you have chosen.
  9. Heat oil in large non-stick pan and saute/fry diced food lightly, adding oyster sauce diluted with water.
  10. Fold in cooked sticky rice. Stir well.
  11. (Optional) Fry egg in separate skillet make a thin egg sheet. Cut into fine strips.
  12. Pat dry softened lotus leaf and brush back of leaf lightly with oil. Cut leaf in half.
  13. Put half the rice mix on one leaf and garnish top with pile of egg strips.
  14. Wrap rice in a rounded bundle. Repeat with the other half.
  15. Either cook immediately or possibly store away in fridge for later use.
  16. Steam for 10 min on high, or possibly microwave for 2 min on high. Before microwaving, wet bundles on the outside. Then place in covered dish.
  17. The steaming method is preferable. It yields a moister version and the longer cooking time allows the rice to absorb the fragrance of the leaf.
