To assemble: Overlap two pieces of bamboo leaves, make a cone shape and press in a spoonful of rice, top with filling and cover with rice again. wrap up the rice dumplings and tie with grass strands. (I used nylon string) 4. To Boil: Prepare a big pot of water in pressure cooker, when water boiled, lower down the rice dumplings, boil for at least 45mins. The water level has to be always above the rice dumplings. Take out the rice dumplings while it is done, dip dry the rice dumplings by hanging. Note: I put a chicken stock and 1 tbsp of salt into boiling water to boil the dumpling. Recipe adapted from : Ah Tze @Awayofmind, Wendy@ Table for 2... or More
