The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, let's make rice dumplings. I know how to make Jiaxing rice dumplings. I have served meat dumplings before, but this time I pack a vegetarian-red bean and jujube dumplings. During pregnancy, my colleague asked me: Can pregnant women eat rice dumplings? I think it is edible, but don't eat too much. Because glutinous rice dumplings are hot and humid, eating too much makes the stomach upset. Although I had a super appetite when I was pregnant, I only ate this kind of vegetarian rice dumplings made by myself every day.
