If I feel like making something I usually make Lor Mai fan... Similar ingredients just laid out differently... I use a steamer with lotus leaf on the bottom, the edibles on top then more lotus leaf on top of that. But that's if I'm willing to eat it for a few days afterwards.
thanks for the idea - of course I can look for them at an Asian / Chinese supermarket. I hadn’t considered that search. That’ll be fun when I return to 99 ranch or just the dim sum place by the 99 ranch. I’ve yet to return because I haven’t finished all of that $35 purchase of frozen dim sum, but I’ll eventually finish it and return...
