well...so boyfriend's parents had been stayed in Sydney for a week

Ingredients:

 500 gr garlic

500 gr shallot

1 kg lean pork

 Shitake

Dried shrimp

 Glutinous Rice

Dried Chestnut

 Red Bean Paste

Bamboo Leaves

Long Strings (For binding leave)

Direction:

 roughly about 2 hour

 soften the bamboo leaves with hot water

boil the dried chestnut until tender

fry the shallot until golden brown

fry the garlic until golden brown as well

fry dried shrimp and shitake

P.S : it will produce some water during cooking, we need to cook until it's really dry

Bak Cang's filling

How to make dumpling:

put a spoon of rice in the leave

put a spoon of filling on the top of the rice
