Chaoshan Winter Solstice Rice Balls【No filling】

Overview

From snacks to large dumplings, my family has always made dumplings without fillings. My grandma used to make them during festivals in my hometown. I would eat a small bowl every time after praying to the gods. My mother is making it now, so I can’t tell what it tastes like. I think it’s probably the taste of my hometown, an ancient taste that I will never forget.
