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!
