Pearl Dumpling

The Pearl Dumpling is as white as a pearl. It is a famous Leshan snack. When eaten, it is paired with cabbage from Mountain Emei. This dish contains cooked glutinous rice, which is pleasing and has a distinctive flavor. During the preparation, the sticky rice is prepared first and washed clean. The rice is soaked for two days and becomes swollen after absorbing water, then 250 grams of the rice are loaded into a bowl, of which half is dyed red with a little edible red food color, while the remaining half is milled into rice flour. Edible fungus is wrapped inside the dumpling as stuffing, and the dumpling is twisted to the shape of a pagoda. On the top of the pearl dumpling the swollen, white, sticky rice is attached, and a sweet taste comes from the red sticky rice inside. After this, the dumpling is placed in a steam box for steaming, and then the pearl dumpling is ready. When it is eaten, the cabbages need to be served with it. Features of this dish are that it is white, brilliant, and fragrant, as well as being sweet and delicious.
