Making rice dumplings

It was a tedious job but easy way to eat.

Chop the leaves, cut the both tips of the bamboo leaves, boil  them.

Fillings are - Dried mushrooms to be soaked for a few hours and cut to small pieces.
Pork, onions fried.  Add in 5 spices, salt and pepper powder. (Some times, can add in dried prawns and
nuts.)

Glutinous rice to be soaked too for some 20 minutes.  And have them fried lightly and mixed well with 5 spices powder.

When wrapping up, fill the glutinous rice and the fillings.

Boil the water added with salt.

Then put in the rice dumplings under low fire for about 40 minutes and the rice dumplings are ready for serving.

Roasted chicken

Whole chicken or half only.
Season the chicken with flavoured powder or just salt.
Over the oven roaster, put in some tumeric leaves.
(Put a stand in the oven roaster, above it put a container to collect the oil from the roasted chicken
-to avoid the oven roaster in a dirty mess.)
a tray over the container and the tumeric leaves are laid on the tray.
The chicken (meat ) is placed on the tray.

Set the oven roaster to 200C and set the timer to 40 minutes.

When the chicken is fully roasted, it turns to brown and crispy on the skin.
Cut the chicken using the Amway Scissors(kitchen scissors) and serve hot.


Note: This type of chicken is better as it is not so oily!
