Rice Dumpling

Traditional Asian dish made with glutinous rice and various fillings, wrapped in bamboo leaves.

Ingredients - Serves 10

Soak the glutinous rice and bamboo leaves in separate bowls of water overnight.
Marinate the pork belly with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper for at least 2 hours.
Drain the rice and the leaves. Lay two bamboo leaves flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping.
Place a spoonful of rice in the center of the leaves, followed by a few pieces of pork and mushrooms, then another spoonful of rice.
Fold the leaves over the filling, tucking in the sides to form a tight package. Secure with kitchen string.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Place the dumplings in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
Remove the dumplings from the pot and let them cool before unwrapping and serving.
