肉粽 (Steamed Pork Glutinous Rice Dumplings)

The version from "再發號肉粽".

 

This is one of the most traditional of Chinese dishes - seeped with history. You can find these in any corner of the world wherever there is a Chinese.

 

I LOVE them. Love Love Love!

Basically, it is a triangular packet of flavoured glutinous rice, with spiced pieces of pork, Shiitake mushroom, chestnut and sometimes, a piece of salted duck egg, wrapped in bamboo leaves and then steamed.

 

Moist, sticky, savoury, moreish and filling - beat the hell out of any fast food offerings!
