　　Triangular Package

　　　　The so-called "triangular package" refers to a triangular-shaped rice noodle dumpling. People in Guangxi usually call it a rice noodle dumpling, but in Zhongshan, Guangdong, there's a special term for it — triangular package, which is named after the unique shape of this type of dumpling. Most rice noodle dumplings in Guangxi are shaped like regular dumplings, whereas those here are made into neat, proper triangles, and they also tend to be slightly larger in size.

　　　　The filling of the triangular package mainly consists of pork, green beans, yam beans, carrots, and wood ear mushrooms. The preparation is quite simple: first, steam the outer rice noodle wrapper, then finely chop the filling ingredients and wrap them in the wrapper to form a triangle. Though the making process is straightforward, the key lies in crafting the rice noodle wrapper. Those who often eat rice noodle dumplings may know that if the outer wrapper isn't made well, the filling can easily fall apart and the texture won't be as good. Here, the wrapper on the triangular package is just the right thickness and wraps the filling securely, giving it a nice chewy bite and a smooth, delicious mouthfeel. Despite their larger size, you can definitely enjoy a few without any problem.
