It turns out that a long time ago, there was a chicken seller in Pantang (that is, near Liwan Lake Park) who sold chickens across the street every day. One day, he plans to take the leftover chicken home and steam it for his family. He was about to put the prepared chicken on the plate when his hand slipped and broke the plate. Because people were poor at that time, there was only one dish at home, and they couldn't buy it immediately if it was broken. What should I do? So the chicken vendor put the cut chicken pieces into the rice cooker and steamed them with the rice. When he ate it, he found it delicious. So he had a brainwave and cooked this kind of steamed rice with slippery chicken for supper every night. The result is very popular. Some diners suggested to him that it would be more delicious if the glutinous rice used for cooking was replaced by glutinous rice. So glutinous rice chicken was born. Restaurants near Pantang are also competing to imitate, and Pantang is rich in lotus leaves, so chefs wrap rice balls with lotus leaves and add various ingredients such as mushrooms, dried shrimps and salted eggs, which have evolved into today's Guangzhou cuisine.
