Zhai Chang

Zhai Chang
I remember when I was in Puning, I basically ate rice dumplings for breakfast every day, beef sausage, fresh shrimp sausage, pork liver sausage, lean meat sausage... My favorite is a flour skin, beaten with an egg, added with shredded pork, diced radish, shredded mushrooms, bean sprouts or diced bamboo shoots, and then poured with a layer of sesame paste and stewed soup on top. It is smooth and slightly tough. The taste is really nostalgic.
Although we don't have a special rice flour machine at home, nor do we buy a special rice flour powder, we can still make comparable raw rice paste rice flour. Due to the rudimentary tools, I made the simplest vegetarian sausage. Saigon is that there is nothing wrapped in it.

  • Zhai Chang Make Tips

    1: When making rice roll skins, scoop more dough and thinner dough. 2: If you add less powder and more water, the rice flour skin will be tender, but if you add too much, you will not be able to make it, so you need to test it a few more times to gain experience. I'm not very good at it yet. If I have a better ratio, I will come back and discuss it with you.
