Just for you to know,my grandma was born with an exquisite and refined taste.She was a highly intelligent woman but because back then women didn't have equal rights to education,she wasn't allowed to go to school.Her greatest hobby is to travel and spends most of the year traveling to visit her children or another country.She loves to hear stories and I would always tell her scenes of gossip from my life and she would listen intently like a child.
End result is just mouth watering...
These are leaves to wrap the glutinous rice and the rest of the filing.

Glutinous marinated rice.The marination involves wine,pork fat and..he he family secret

Garlic,meaty herb
salted egg yolks
SPILL THE BEANS?
Here's how to make my grandma's iconic zhong zi .Its an extremely grueling process because it takes hours to prepare for the ingredients.It involves the frying process of the pork,marination of the glutinous rice,preparation of the water chesnuts....the list goes on .But the end result is just superbly fantastic.No one makes zhong zi like she does and it only comes once a year.So it has really been a priveledge just watching her.
