How to make pork dumplings?

The method of making pork rice dumplings is relatively simple. You can choose pork that contains a small amount of fat, because this part of the fat will melt into oil when steaming the rice dumplings, and penetrate into the glutinous rice, making the glutinous rice taste more fragrant and smooth, and the overall feeling will be better.

Ingredients: 2500 grams of glutinous rice, 1500 grams of lean pork leg, 500 grams of pork fat, 300 grams of dried rice dumplings, 25 grams of dried silk grass, 100 grams of sugar, 75 grams of refined salt, 400 grams of red soy sauce, 40 grams of cooking wine, 50 grams of onion and ginger juice, etc.
