Homemade Dish - Rice Dumpling in Bamboo Leaves (Zongzhi)
A traditional Chinese recipe eaten during Dragon Boat Festival

 

Dumpling Recipe:

Ingredients:

40 large dried bamboo leaves (2 for each zongzi)
20 long strings (for binding leaves) 
1 kg sticky rice
1 kg pork belly, cut into small cubes
5 salted duck's egg yolks
40 small dried mushrooms
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine 

200 g shelled peanuts 
Vegetable oil
5 cloves of garlic, roughly crushed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon five spice powder

1 tablespoon cooking oil.

Method

Prepare and cook ingredients

1. Soak rice in water for 1-2 hours and drain it. Put 1 tablespoon cooking oil and mix well. 
2. Soak mushrooms until soft. Clean and trim stalks. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces.
3. Stir-fry pork and mushroom together for a few minutes. Add soy sauce, rice wine, 1 teaspoon of sugar and five spice powder, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1/2 hour. Remove pork and mushroom from liquid and set aside.
4. Pour the liquid (from pork and mushroom) into rice and mix well.
5. Boil peanuts until tender (35 - 45minutes).
6. Halve duck egg yolks.

Wrap zongzi

(Information: http://eatingchina.com/recipes/zongzi.htm)

1. Soak bamboo leaves in warm water for 5 minutes to tenderise, before washing thoroughly in cold water.
2. Wet strings to make them more pliable.
3. Take 2 leaves with leaf stem or spine facing out. Overlap them lengthwise in inverse directions (pointed end of one leaf facing the rounded end of the other).
4. With both hands hold leaves about 2/3rds of the way along their length. At that point bend them so that they are parallel lengthwise and also overlap. This should produce a leafpouch that you cup firmly in one hand.
5. Add a small amount of rice mixture, compressing with a spoon.
6. Add 1 piece each of pork, mushroom, duck egg yoke.
7. Add more rice until you have nearly a full pouch. Compress firmly with a spoon.
8. Fold leaves over the open top of zongzi, then around to side until zongzi is firmly wrapped. Zongzi should be pyramid shaped with sharp edges and pointed ends. Trim off any excess leaf with scissors.
9. Tie up zongzi tightly just like shoes laces with a double knot. Normally they are tied to a bunch of zongzi.
10. *Steam for 2 hour, unwrap and serve. [Yummy yummy ^^ ]

三寸天堂

三寸天堂MV - 步步驚心片尾曲 (步步惊心片尾曲)



停在这里不敢走下去，让悲伤无法上演。
下一页你亲手写上的离别，由不得我拒绝。
这条路我们走得太匆忙，拥抱着并不真实的欲望。
来不及等不及回头欣赏，木兰香遮不住伤。
不再看，天上太阳透过云彩的光。
不再找，约定了的天堂。
不再叹，你说过的人间世事无常，借不到的三寸日光。
不再看，天上太阳透过云彩的光。
不再找，约定了的天堂。
不再叹，你说过的人间世事无常，借不到的三寸日光。
那天堂是我爱过你的地方。

劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时。
花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。
