Salty rice dumplings (rice dumplings)

Overview

During the May Festival (Dragon Boat Festival), tie rice dumplings. When I was a child, my family was busy, and my parents only cared about making money to support the family. They never paid attention to food. My mother didn't know how to make rice dumplings or tie rice dumplings. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the neighbor's aunt would bring some to the house. Later, when I started working, I met some colleagues who were good at making rice dumplings and learned from them. I still remember that I was full of jokes when I first started making rice dumplings by myself. Three of the four corners of the rice dumpling were missing, and the remaining corner was not familiar. Haha, after countless attempts, I was finally able to make it on the table. So, as long as you work hard enough and persevere enough, you can still make beautiful rice dumplings, hehe
