Zhongzi! Sticky rice goodness wrapped in bamboo leaves

Fun but reallyyy hard and time consuming to make

We put in ___ with the sticky rice:

• Shiitake mushrooms
• Ground pork w/ onions and dried shrimpies
• Chinese sausage

prepped all the stuff and laid it out to assemble

wrapping is hard >_<

tying them up is hard too >_<

lol...the roomie is getting frustrated...she kept overstuffing so it would be extremely hard to wrap closed

steaming them, i actually overcooked the rice in the beginning so it was a bit harder to work with when stuffing, but takes shorter steam time

tada!...we did all the wrapping while watching the 2 hour season opening of Grey's =]

we definitely can improve on it but they still turned out pretty decent and they still taste yummy!
