Luzhou Piglet Dumplings

Luzhou Piglet Dumplings

　　“Piglet Dumplings,” also known as “Leaf Dumplings,” get their name from being traditionally steamed with a pork filling and often wrapped in a layer of vegetable leaves. These dumplings are made with premium glutinous rice, which is ground into powder, mixed with water to achieve the right consistency, then combined with stir-fried pork filling before being steamed in bamboo baskets. Because the pork filling contains a small amount of fat, if you're not careful with your first bite, it can easily leave your mouth covered in grease. The most famous ones in Luzhou are the “Hongqiao Piglet Dumplings.”
