Multigrain sweet rice dumplings

Overview

Two days later, Mima continued to make rice dumplings. She originally wanted to make rice dumplings with fresh meat, but she didn’t buy the right meat. She also made rice dumplings with sweet ones. Both her daughter and niece liked to eat them. I looked at the food at home, including glutinous rice, millet, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, and gorgon seeds. These are pretty good. Just use these. Because there are beans, they need to be soaked in advance this time, no less than twelve hours. Mima soaked them the night before and wrapped them the next morning. This time, I changed the wrapping method again. Instead of using silk thread, I used needles and reed leaves to wrap it, which is a bit like a square sachet bag. Mima added a small amount of sugar to the filling, which tasted delicious.
