1. Meat dumplings are a very popular type of rice dumplings, especially children, who like their delicious flavor and greasy texture. Generally, pork or beef are used to make meat rice dumplings, because these two kinds of meat are easier to handle, and the taste can be greatly improved after being made into rice dumplings.
2. When using pork to make rice dumplings, pay attention to choosing pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat, 7 points lean and 3 points fat. Don’t have too much fat, otherwise it will taste a little greasy. Cut the pork into cubes, then add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce and other seasonings and marinate for about 8 hours. The marinated pork will taste better.
3. Beef is relatively difficult to cook. If you are using beef to make rice dumplings, you can marinate the beef first, then dry the beef into beef jerky. The beef jerky is wrapped in the rice dumplings and cooked for a long time. When steamed, the braised flavor of the beef will penetrate into the glutinous rice, making the rice dumplings full of braised flavor and very delicious to eat.
