Piglet Dumplings

　　Chishui Piglet Dumplings are made with a glutinous rice flour wrapper, stuffed with minced pork, dried tofu, pickled mustard greens, and other ingredients, then steamed at high temperature until ready to eat. They get their name from their oval shape and pure white, translucent appearance after steaming, resembling adorable little piglets. Take a bite, and you’re first greeted by the soft, fragrant texture of the glutinous rice, followed by the rich, blended flavors of the filling. The chew is tender yet crisp, bursting with aroma. No wonder many visitors to Chishui take home a big pack of these dumplings as souvenirs — they’re a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds.
