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!

"The ingredients you used don't sound very appetizing for such a traditional Chinese food item. They aren't hard to wrap. You overstuffed them" Also, "I don't that you ever had any experience as a professional chef or anything close to that. People like you have no true understanding of food and lack a broad palette wouldn't understanding. And yes, I prepared, baked and created recipes for wedding venues for more than two years." -- RL

JUST KIDDING! Keep up the great work! Looks awesome :)
