Fragrant and glutinous red bean meat rice dumplings

Overview

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, which means it’s time to eat tea eggs and rice dumplings. Every year at this time, when the festival is only a few days away, I can’t help but eat them first. I went shopping today and saw green rice dumpling leaves for sale, and I immediately thought of the fragrance of rice dumplings. Although there have been various flavors of rice dumplings on the market for a long time, and I have eaten them several times, I always feel that they are not as fragrant and substantial as those made at home. I bought two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves and wrapped them up~
