Chinese Glutinous Rice Dumpling

Year 2012, my sister, my mom and I made these Chinese Glutinous Rice dumpling together.

Well, basically as usual my mom cooked all the ingredients, and I teach my sister how to wrap the dumpling.

Just a few attempts, she can manage to wrap the dumpling without making any single dumpling being "open" while cooking it in the pot.

Last few years, my mom;s neighbor is the one who helped her to wrap the dumpling, but she got to be away for this year. So my mom got no choice but pick me to wrap the dumpling for her. Yeah, she does not know how to wrap, surprisingly, haha!

But she accused me i used to wrap too loose and made some dumpling too loose and it opened when cooking in the pot. I kept denying, because I know I did wrap it tightly.

Finally, I got my name clean!

Not even single dumpling loose and open!!!! Yay!!! ...

My sister and I made 40 dumplings for the first day, and another 40 the next day as my mom got not enough cooked glutinous rice for the first day.

Sigh, tired ... but thank God we manage to finish it all ^^

Mom fried the glutinous rice with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, a little bit of salt, sugar & MSG

All ingredients were prepared:

1) Fried glutinous rice (as mentioned above)

2) Fried mushroom with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce & garlic

3) Braised pork with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, garlic, spices

4) Fried chestnut

5) Fried green bean without shell

Here the dumpling we just finished wrapping, wait to be cooked in a big pot of boiling water!

Look forward

Wow, the last post is about a year ago!
My goodness, I am such a bad blogger.
But I got my reason for such a long long away, simple because -
I am 4 more blogs to maintain, most of them are business online blogs,
hehe, well, not much profit though as I am just do it out of interest.

TRAVEL

* mom happily DIY her kimchi.

Traveled to Seoul & Jeju Island last July 2011 with mom. It's a raining season, so almost carrying umbrella for the whole long journey everywhere. But as long as my mom enjoyed the trip, it worth the money.

* Sis Mei-lin "borrowed" my mom to kiss, I should have charged her!

This August 2012, my mom and I traveled to England & Amsterdam.
My mom prefer to go Taiwan, but I love to go back Sheffield and visit friends there.
Not much things changed, but a lot of things not the same though.

Have not encounter the next trip with my mom, but I'm going to travel again end of the year to Japan & Taiwan with my hubby's family.
Sorry mom, please hang in there, will bring you again soon.
So, your leg gonna be strong ya.


WORK
Work wise, I am still working in the same company. It will be 2 years for next February...
Pray for the best to come!


MARRIAGE LIFE
One and a half year passed.
Soon gonna be two years anniversary already...
Yeah yeah yeah, baby baby baby... Many people keep asking, quite annoying.
But being polite I didn't shout out loud, "STOP asking!"
If one ask one of this question, when I meet 10 people, I have already got 10 same questions bugging me, so just imagine how annoying is this.
I just reply with a polite smile ~

Don't we have other topic to chat about?

But good thing is, after a few cooks, my hubby "pregnant" instead, hahahha!!! He got a big tummy oo.
