Steps

  1. Wash the ingredients first

  2. Soak the glutinous rice in water and set aside. Peel the pork and cut it into small pieces. Mince the green onion and cut the ginger into cubes. In fact, you don’t need so much green onion and ginger. I cut it and stir-fry other vegetables

  3. Put the pork and five or six slices of ginger into the meat grinder of a chef's machine. If you don't have a chef's machine, you can chop it with a knife. If the meat becomes dry during the chopping process, add some water before chopping

  4. Put the minced meat, green onions and salt into a mixing bowl and stir for 5 minutes. If you are mixing by hand, stir clockwise for about 10 minutes. Set aside the minced meat filling. Drain the water from the soaked glutinous rice. I used 20 grams of each meat filling. Roll it into a round shape with your hands and evenly wrap it in the glutinous rice. Then round it up and place it on a plate

  5. I put a wolfberry in the middle of the dumpling for decoration, but it doesn’t need to be used.

  6. Cover it with plastic wrap and change it to a plate because my steamer is too small. After the water in the pot is steamed, put it in and steam it for 20 minutes. I steam it together with the rice, which is convenient.

  7. It’s out of the pot! It tastes good. It’s best to use the long-grain type of glutinous rice. This is the leftover glutinous rice from making rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, so I can make the most of it and not waste it
