Bamboo shoot meat and glutinous rice ball complete
Tips:
1. The size of the glutinous rice ball is determined by yourself, generally about 55-60 grams each
2. The proportion of lean meat in the meat filling should not be too large, because the dried bamboo shoots originally absorb oil, so it should be fat and thin. It is really lean, so add some boiled lard in it. This time I didn’t add cooking wine in the meat filling. I used green onion ginger water and butter onion crisp
3. Because I used water-milled glutinous rice flour that is too soft and the finished product is not good-looking, I added some corn starch to the flour
