Granny finally let me make dumplings. :D
Well, here's the mutated results from 2 hours practice and 1 hour of making 10 before I ran out of rice.
They're pretty badly done, but at least there's some hope of finally being of some help in the kitchen in the future.
The next practice session will be a year later, and the years after that, too, so this goin be great. Cuz, this was something I've always wanted to learn to make, and there wouldn't be much chances in the future.
It's just so... Nice to do.
Like drawing, or baking creations you can't consume.
Or dancing and looking like a duck monkeying around.
It's really nice to post things like these up here now, instead of Facebook.
It just seems so much more private that way. :>
And uh, side note? I'm glad they at least resemble somewhat of a triangle. And none of them decided to detach themselves from the knots and go swimming in the pot of water they were boiled in.
Family was so endearing too. They encourage you with kind and warm words even if your dumplings really cmi, even for first try.

ReplyDeleteit looks good! but it is better not to use raffia strings to tie although it is much tighter than the original bamboo strings which can tear easily.
ReplyDeletebecause raffia is some sort of plastic, and when boiled in water will hav a kind of chemical that can cause cancer =)
practice makes perfect! I am sure one day your wrapping dumplings skills will be better than now! ^^
