Alkaline Kee Chang (Kan Sui Chung)

It takes me almost 3 months to add the recipe for this Alkaline Kee Chang.  I hope its not too late for the upcoming "chung" festival. I think i have to get ready to make some salted duck eggs, i mean i need the duck egg yolk to make bak chang for the festival too. This is another secret recipe from my dearest mama. I like this alkaline dumpling very much and i hope you will like it too. Enjoy!!

   2 1/2    cup glutinous rice

   2          teaspoon alkaline water

   1          teaspoon borax ( peann sar)

   hemp string or plastic string

   

    Method   :

    Soak glutinous rice for 4 hours and drain. Dissolve alkaline water and borax to marinate for another 

    2 - 3 hours.

    with paper towel. Set aside.

    Wrap the rice and tie it with hemp string. Wrap about 10 -12 dumplings in a bundle. You may follow 

    the steps of wrapping from my bak chang recipe.

     When the water is rolling boil, gently put in the dumpling into the pot bundle by bundle. Let it boil

     for  3 hours. remove from water and hang it to dry.
