Two-meter rice dumplings

The idea of two kinds of rice in Northeast China is extended to rice dumplings. The difference is that millet rice is replaced by large yellow rice and glutinous rice. Rhubarb rice is also a kind of sticky rice, but according to my father, it is rarely that sticky nowadays.
