Cat Claw Rice Balls

Cat Claw Rice Balls

Overview

It’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so we have to eat glutinous rice balls. When the glutinous rice balls are cooked, they float on the water after boiling, which is really beautiful and reminds people of a bright moon hanging in the sky. The bright moon in the sky, glutinous rice balls in the bowl, and the reunion of every household symbolize reunion and good luck. Therefore, eating glutinous rice balls expresses people's love for family reunion. Together with my baby, I made this cat's claw glutinous rice dumpling, which is both beautiful and delicious.
