First time making chinese rice dumpling (Bak Chang) - inspiration from my hubby .
Yesterday morning, when we discuss abt the price of Bak chang.. he told me that nowsaday women doesnt know how to wrap dumpling, and that's the reason why bak chang 's price shoot up ( of course not forgetting the increase in price of the material used la)... most of the modern ppl now only buy bak chang instead of make it themselves..and soon.... our kids dun even know how to make a bak chang.. it's a "lost skill".... thinking that he's right.. i decided to take up this challenge and make some home-made bak chang for him to try.. keke..
Bought all the ingredient from the groceries stall nearby my office, soaked all the glutinious rice, foong lut ( chestnut) and lotus leaf in the office...and bring it home.. ( to save some time !!)..
The end results is ....may be this is the last time i will make bak chang.. !! ahhaa... the cooking part is not tedious at all.. infact, it's pretty easy... the tedious part is when u wrap the rice with the lotus leaf.. those that without any training and never have any experience at all in leaf wrapping ( like me) will face great difficulties... I trying to wrap the dumpling into triangle shape , but it's not under my control anymore.. haha.. i just couldn't do it..in the end, i have to give up and wrap whatever shape i can, just to make sure the filling wont leak out when i boil it...
Some photos to share...that's another photo with carrots & vege inside the pot... that's is not part of the process of making chung.. but to keep my dotter busy... keke.. she's making herself carrot soup.. i suppose.
