Cantonese style bacon rice dumplings cooking techniques1. Glutinous rice must be soaked in advance, otherwise it will not be cooked easily.
2. The meat should be slightly saltier than usual, otherwise the whole rice dumpling will not be salty enough. It will taste better when the saltiness of the meat soaks into the glutinous rice.
3. The taste of lean meat is not as good as that of pork belly. It is recommended to add a little fat, so that the fat of the meat and the glutinous rice are perfectly blended, which is the favorite bacon rice dumpling among foodies.
4. People with poor gastrointestinal digestion are not recommended to use mung beans. Avoid aggravating gastrointestinal burden.
