Dumplings

To make a delicious dumpling, it is not as easy as u thought. Let me share with u how is the process is going.

First of all, U have to get the amount of leave so called 'dumpling leave' either in the jungle by urself or try to find in the traditional market. In Sibu, it is not hard to get in the central market, but i am not sure for other cite.

This is the green, fresh dumpling leave.
Then, cook the leave with hot water until it become brown in colour.Brown dumpling leave after cooked.

Leave it in the pipe water to let it cool since it just cooked.

Then, wash the cooked dumpling leave by using clean water and also a piece of fabric.
Below are some of the ingredients that needed. I can't list all out because I'm not really so pro in it. :P
Mushrooms that need to dip it in the water for some time.


Cut the mushrooms in small slices.
And then make sure the mushrooms are not in the water for too long time otherwise the taste all gone.

The 3 layer pork that need to ''yam'' with 5 smell powder.


The prawn rice (dried small sea shrimp) that need wash and dry it under the sun for a minutes.

1. Around 3 pieces of dumpling leave for 1 dumpling.


2. Put the glutinous rice which enough to cover the ingredients.

3. Put the ingredient 1 by 1 on the glutinous rice and then cover it with some more glutinous rice on the top of the ingredients.


4. Start to turn over the leave to fully cover the ingredient.

See the shape? Is it look like a pillow? That's why people called it "Pillow Dumpling" haha

5. Tie it with whatever u want. But of course better is use the "wood rope". Sorry I am not so sure how to call it in English term.

Done?? Of course not yet. Haha
6. Need to put the dumplings inside the big pot with water cover all the dumpling and start to cook it for a couple of hours and need to take care of the pot. Once the water is lesser, need to add in hot water to cover it again.

7. "Dang Dang!!!" Nice and delicious dumplings are done lu!~ haha


P/S: The dumpling need to be tied tightly so that when cook it, the water will not go inside the dumpling.
