Features: Cantonese Preserved Meat Rice Dumplings
Ingredients:
- 600g long glutinous rice
- 6 preserved meat sausages
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
- 22 bamboo leaves
- 11 cotton ropes
Instructions:
1. Wash the glutinous rice, soak it overnight, drain, and put it in a pot. Add 2.5 cups of water, place the preserved meat on top, and add 1.5 cups of water to the outer pot. Wait until the switch jumps, then let it rest for a moment. Remove the preserved meat, cut it in half, and mix the glutinous rice with BBQ sauce to make preserved meat rice.
2. Wash and dry the bamboo leaves. Place two leaves on top of each other, overlap the ends, and hold the middle with your thumb and index finger to form a cup shape.
3. Fill in a amount of preserved meat rice, add a piece of preserved meat, and top it with more preserved meat rice to form a long shape. Tie it tightly with cotton rope and steam for 30 minutes. Open the bamboo leaves, take out the glutinous rice dumplings, cut them into small pieces, and serve.
Note: Since the glutinous rice has been cooked in advance, steaming the dumplings is very convenient. You just need to let the glutinous rice absorb the aroma of the preserved meat and the fragrance of the bamboo leaves.
