Glutinous Rice Dumpling (Bak Cang)

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

they came for holiday...

 today i have learnt how to make Bak Cang from his mum : ))

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:

soak the glutinous rice

 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

saute the lean pork 

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

put in some soy sauce, salt and pepper

and then mix with the fried shallot; gralic; shitake; and dried shrimp

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

cover again with rice

shape the dumpling and bind them with string

P.S: shape a dumpling is not as easy as we see.

it has taken me several time to make a perfect shape.

i need to practice a lot
