Traditional Nyonya Bak Chang Recipe (Peranakan Blue Rice Dumplings!)

Full Recipe: https://wp.me/p8790g-Cd Learn how to make beautiful, traditional Nyonya Bak Chang (Peranakan Glutinous Rice Dumplings) at home! This version features that iconic, stunning blue patch from natural butterfly pea flowers and is packed with a perfectly balanced sweet and savory filling. While traditionally wrapped in broad pandan leaves, I’m using accessible bamboo leaves for this recipe without losing any of that incredible flavor. Nyonya changs are different from the rest due to the candied winter melon and coriander powder used to make the filling. Minced pork belly was also used for this recipe instead of finely diced pork. Ingredients: 60 – 70 Bamboo leaves and strings 10 Pandan leaves 600 g glutinous rice 300 g glutinous rice blue colour 8 g dried blue pea flowers 200 ml water 8 shallots finely chopped 4 cloves garlic finely chopped For white glutinous rice: 1 Tbsp white pepper 1 tsp salt 1 Tbsp concentrated chicken stock For blue glutinous rice: ½ Tbsp white pepper ½ tsp salt ½ Tbsp concentrated chicken stock Filling: 500 g big onions diced or shallots 4 Tbsp chopped garlic 700 g belly pork or chicken minced or finely diced 12 dried shiitake mushrooms soaked in hot water 1 cup chopped spring onions and parsley optional 60 g – 100 g candied winter melon diced Dry Ingredients: 70 g ground coriander 15 g five spice powder 8 g ground nutmeg 15 g ground pepper Wet Ingredients: 2 tsp salt 1 Tbsp light soy sauce 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce 1 Tbsp concentrated chicken stock Note: If using freshly grounded spices adjust the amount as taste will be stronger. You could use spices like ground cloves and cinnamon. Fillings can be made in advance and refrigerated. To get a more fragrant filling pork lard may be used. If you prefer the filling to be sweeter add some rock sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Seasoning has to be strong as it will be diluted through the boiling process. 💡 Support my Peranakan eBook: 📖 eBook: https://gumroad.com/l/shiokman-perana... 📚 Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0761W2R22 👉 Support Shiokman's Kitchen channel:    / @shiokmankitchen   👍 Like & Share this video 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more recipes: [   / @shiokmaneddie  ] 📷 Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest Facebook Page: http://bit.ly/2hXsg7m Instagram: http://bit.ly/2if5rwy Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2hdfpgtdfpgt Eastern Thought by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
