Nonya Chang




Finally decided to make Nonya Chang on the 7th June. Saw them selling in Kim Choo's for $3.20 each, which I thought was rather expensive.

Had a tough time looking for all the necessary ingredients.

The bamboo leaves are available in NTUC, but it's not easy to find the sugared winter melons (Tong Kuah Tang) and the coriander powder.

Pre-soaked the bamboo leaves, mushrooms and glutinous rice overnight on friday, and went to sleep.

Bought 1.5kg of soft lean meat, and 0.5kg of lard, which should be enough meat for about 50 rice dumplings.

Started cooking the fillings and wrapping the rice dumplings in the evening. Prepared 3 pots of hot water to boil the rice dumplings for 3 hours. Finally finished all the boiling by 1am, and hung the rice dumplings on the clothes hanging stand.
