Shepherd's purse gnocchi

Overview

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival again. Eat a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings and wish for a happy new year and all the best. Every time you make rice dumplings at home, you need to prepare extra fillings. My son doesn’t eat rice dumplings and loves wontons. This amount of filling can hold 2 pounds of wonton wrappers, so you can prepare the fillings according to your own needs. There are two types of glutinous rice balls in Shanghai: local glutinous rice balls and Ningbo glutinous rice balls. The local glutinous rice balls can beat table tennis in an instant. The local glutinous rice balls come in two flavors: salty and sweet. The most popular is the shepherd's purse meat glutinous rice balls with shepherd's purse and pork. The outer skin must be made from a mixture of cold rice porridge and glutinous rice flour. The finished product has a soft and waxy outer skin and a delicious filling.
