Alkaline Sticky Rice Dumplings Recipe | 碱水粽食谱

Alkaline rice dumplings are traditionally made during the Dragon Boat Festival. In Cantonese dialect, these dumplings are called “Gan Sui Jong” or in Chinese it’s called JianShui Zong “碱水粽” . These dumplings are made with glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and then boiled for 2-3 hours. You can also use a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time.

There are two types of sticky rice dumplings made during the Dragon Boat Festival. One is the savoury type which are filled with meat, salted eggs, mushrooms and other condiments. For savoury dumplings, please see my video here: https://youtu.be/Z34gf3wt8wc Another is the alkaline rice dumplings, usually eaten with sweet condiments such as sugar, gula melaka syrup and kaya.

The original dumplings are made with just sticky rice. Later, other versions added red bean paste or other sweet filling into the rice dumplings.
