Traditional Dumpling 传统肉粽

超多馅料的肉粽！

学会包粽子，后面有段很有趣的故事。小时后，看到婆婆和妈妈包粽子时，很想参一份，当然没机会啦！于是，我就用我们家种的老芒果树叶，学她们包粽子，她们包真料，我包泥土，哈哈！就这样我学会了如何包粽子，当然学习期中也得到婆婆和妈妈的指点。中学后，我就有份参于她们包粽子了。

以前，她们包粽子总是得包2-3公斤，煮好后，这里分，那里给，其余的在分两三天吃完。我可是在大学时，从我同屋檐下的朋友那儿学到，原来粽子可冰冻久藏，要吃时再蒸热即可。她妈妈常常为她带来十多二十粒粽子，让她慢慢吃，当然也有分享些给我们。

而我，偏爱超多馅料的肉粽，只有自制的才有那么多馅料，外面买的粽子都不能满足我，=P!

Super Rich Dumpling!

Talking about making dumpling, there is a funny story behind it. During childhood time, I always like to join my grandmom and my mom making dumpling during the dumpling festival, but of course I have no chance to do that at that time. Then, I inovatively found a way to play with it. I used our mango tree's leave to serve as the bamboo leave. While they are using glutinous rice and other ingredients, I use soil as my filling. From here, I practice and having fun playing it, at the mean time, I also get soem guidance from my grandmom and mom too. Starting secondary school, I already able to help them to make dumpling!

During that time, each time we will make about 2-3kg of dumpling and distribute them to relatives and friends and keep some for our own consumption in next 2-3 days. I was learn that we can keep the extra dumpling into the freezer and just steam it when we want to eat it. I learnt it thru my housemate during university time. Her mom always brought her a lot of dumpling each time and she will keep those in the freezer and it can last her for quite some times. Of course, she did shared some of them to us too!

As for me, I always like and look for rich ingredients dumpling. Those selling at the stall always lack of this aspect due to business reason. Therefore, only homemade dumpling able to fulfill my need, =P!
