Vegetable dumplings
When I returned to my hometown in Xiaoshan a few days ago, I happened to meet the 12th of the seventh lunar month. We call it the "Ghost Festival" here. We need to make dumplings to sacrifice to our ancestors and the deceased. Every time after the dumplings are steamed, everyone is not allowed to eat them, otherwise you will get angry from my mother. Mom would pick out a bowl first to pay homage to our ancestors, and then we could eat it after it was ready.

What we traditionally add is fried vegetables. 3. After steaming, pour some water on it so that it will look moist. 4.
