The annual "Dragon Boat Festival" is coming, a traditional festival for China people. Every Dragon Boat Festival, I buy a few rice dumplings to eat, but I rarely make rice dumplings myself. The main reason is that it is troublesome and time-consuming to make! <br />In the past, when grandma was alive, the family made her own rice dumplings. When grandma was gone, she could only buy them every year. Every year, I buy rice dumplings to pay homage to my grandma first, and then everyone can share it. <br />Grandma's hands are very skillful and can make many kinds of rice dumplings. They are made quickly and well. There are various shapes and fillings. A big pot is cooked. After cooking, only a few are left at home, and most of them are given to neighbors. Neighbors all said that it is much better than what they buy outside. <br />Since there are activities on the Dragon Boat Festival, I also take this opportunity to share with you the things I learned to make rice dumplings with my grandma when I was a child. In fact, I only knew how to pack one, but it was unsatisfactory! At that time, I always liked to help grandma make rice dumplings. The rice dumplings were either not in good shape or very loose. At this time, grandma would often praise me for my progress and tear them apart before wrapping them. Hehe, I am clumsy and poor in packaging and I can't learn. However, grandma always took pains and patience to teach me. I didn't graduate when grandma passed away. This craft was lost in my family since then, and later I had to buy them and eat them! <br />You can usually use bamboo leaves or reed leaves to make rice dumplings. The wider ones are better, but it doesn't matter if it is narrower. You can use several pieces to make rice dumplings. Make them as big as you imagine, hehe! In fact, it's not good to wrap it too big. It takes several hours to cook and requires a large pot. I feel that the maximum is no more than two taels. <br />Today, I have prepared four types of rice dumplings fillings, so I will use the four-corner wrapping method that I am still a little familiar with to make a few to embarrass everyone, haha! The specific practices are as follows;
Orange-flavored Roasted Chicken Wings

Orange-flavored Roasted Chicken Wings

The appearance of these chicken wings was very accidental. Because I was always worried about the quality of frozen meat, I had not bought chicken wings for almost two years. The day before yesterday, for some unknown reason, I suddenly wanted to eat chicken wings, so I went and bought some. As soon as I got home, I quickly washed and marinated the chicken wings before changing my clothes and washing two oranges. While peeling the orange peel, I suddenly thought of the orange-scented bones, so I quickly peeled off the orange peel and marinated it with the chicken wings. But I threw away part of the orange peel for me before, and the amount was not enough. When roasting, there was no extra orange peel to cover the chicken wings, otherwise the orange aroma would be stronger.

I have been to Taiwan a few times and have eaten enough flavors from Taipei to Tainan. The impression I gave was that the ingredients were fresh, the recipes were unique, the tastes were diverse, the Chinese and Western were mixed together, and there were many varieties. In a word,"you can eat whatever you want", even the flavor of Beijing can be eaten there, haha! <br /><br />Taiwan's diet is relatively light, with fresh ingredients and healthy and fashionable to eat. Among these delicious foods that make people want to eat them uncontrollably, I feel that the most satisfying food is the one called "coffin board" that interests me the most. It tastes delicious and satisfies my cravings. There are many varieties, and I always want to eat it again once. I spent half a month on visiting relatives in Taiwan, and I still didn't have enough food after eating "coffin boards" nine times. Hehe! <br /><br />This coffin board includes seafood, meat, and assorted fillings. The most authentic one should contain chicken, chicken liver, chicken gizzards, and some diced vegetables and mushrooms. The method is semi-Western. But my favorite one is shrimp and potatoes, which tastes very delicious! <br /><br />Two days ago, I baked a piece of salty toast. I have been eating it for three days, and there are more than half of it left. Today, I will use this leftover toast to make two "coffin boards" for my friends 'reference!
