端午节 - Dumpling Festival

Hi... I like to take this opportunity to wish all the Kaypo club sisters and brothers a Very Happy Dumpling Festival. Thank you for all your well wishes too.

This dumpling festival is very special for me, because I have learned how to make my very own Nonya Dumplings. and I have to thanks Auntie Irene once again, if not for her, I will not be able to make my own dumplings and to cook and bake many many more other things. A great thank you to auntie irene.... auntie irene 万岁。

I have made a total of only 3 Kg of glutinous rice, and manage to tied about 65 pieces. I have gave some to my sisters in law and two of my closed friends.

I have also tried just 300 gm of brown rice to make the dumplings, I just the nonya dumpling filling to make it. The texture is different from the actual dumpling coz is not sticky at all and it taste a little bit like fried rice. Using Brown rice will be a healthier choice but not everyone can get use to the taste.

Mabel,

Good try! Your dumplings look great. I dare not eat dumplings, so scare.

Mabel,

Wow! You also make brown rice dumplings, good try! For the brown rice dumplings can mix with some glutinous rice so that the texture will be sticky. My in-law like the brown rice dumplings very much but my children don't like it. You are right using brown rice will be healthier but not everyone can get use to the taste. But i like the taste, what about u?
