Southern Meat Rice Dumplings

Overview

As a southerner, I grew up eating rice dumplings with four corners. Now that I have left home and come to the north, I can’t find that Dragon Boat Festival flavor. Under the guidance of my mother’s remote phone call, I also completed my debut. After the baby is born, I can also proudly take the baby to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival
