Sticky Rice Dumpling

Some great friends of mine are great Asian cooks, something I didn't learn from my grandma or mother. We lived in Fiji so we cooked westernised foods or island foods.

I have wanted to learn authentic Asian dishes and these friends are great at that.

So over to Lily's house in Mar 2020 (before covid started to make its stand). Doris is a great chef and taught at TAFE.

The diners enjoying the days work. Did you notice we weren't eating sticky rice lol. I think we had chicken and fried rice

When this family cooks they cook hahahaha. We made over 100 parcels
