Kumquat glutinous rice dumplings—auspicious stars shine brightly to celebrate the New Year
Overview
Now is the season for sugar oranges to be on the market. You can see them all over the streets. They are small but extremely sweet in taste, and their orange-red skin is particularly attractive. I just picked it with fresh leaves, and suddenly I was inspired to make an orange-shaped glutinous rice dumpling. It is very suitable for the New Year. It means good luck, good luck, good luck and good luck. I won’t eat glutinous rice balls during the Chinese New Year this year. If I want to eat them, I’ll eat kumquat glutinous rice balls. Haha
