Tips:
1. It is best to steam glutinous rice in water. This kind of glutinous rice will not be so sticky and harder. In order to save gas, I use a pressure cooker to cook it directly. This will make it stickier to eat, but my family loves to eat like this, if not If you like it so soft and sticky, you have to steam it in a pot until the glutinous rice is cooked through. It takes 45-60 minutes. I personally think it's too much gas.
2. The stuffing of fried glutinous rice can be filled with shrimps or the like as you like.
3. The carrot flakes are put on to prevent the pan from sticking.
4. Such thin wonton skin will collapse a little when steamed, but this kind of skin is softer and more delicious than the outer skin. Let's eat it by ourselves. Good-looking is secondary, but good is the most important thing.
