Rice dumplings with bacon and grains
Overview
In the past, every Dragon Boat Festival, the adults at home would be busy making rice dumplings and boiling red eggs! Now that I am a mother, I will make rice dumplings for my family to eat this year! Because it was my first time to make rice dumplings, I even called my parents for advice!

Take two rice dumpling leaves (if the rice dumpling leaf is very large, you can use only one) and fold it in half to form a funnel shape

Grab a handful of rice and put it into the rice dumpling leaves, as long as half of it is enough. Then put a piece of soaked pork belly and shiitake mushrooms, and finally grab a handful of rice to cover it
-
Tighten the rice dumpling leaves to cover the opening, and finally tie it tightly with a rope (I did it by myself, so I didn’t take a picture of the closing method. I will teach you next time)

Put the wrapped rice dumplings into the electric pressure cooker, add water, the water should basically cover the rice dumplings, adjust the time, 40-60 minutes

My mouth is watering. I eat it in big mouthfuls. It smells like beans and meat.
