My meat filling is made. My rice is soaking. Can’t wait to steam these delicious looking rice balls later today. After reading other comments, I’m so grateful all the ingredients are very available where I live. I’m using your sweet and sour ribs recipe today as well. Thank you for sharing your recipes.

In reply to Mel. I haven't made this recipe using other types of rice. But I don't think basmati rice would work. Regular short grain rice might work. But the final taste/texture would be different.

Hello Wei , thank you for this recipe . One problem I have ( I live on the Greek island of Corfu ) is finding glutinous rice .I usually use Basmati . Would this recipe work out if I used any short grain rice ? Many Thanks .

In reply to Jenny Lao. It's a good idea to make it the authentic way for the first try. Good luck Jenny!

Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Looks so tempting and delicious!
I’ll try it out soon.
Only set back is we dont have canned water chestnuts in our super markets and the fresh ones could be found occasionally only. I love water chestnut and once I can find it: I’ll try it.
For my first try I dont want to substitute with any other ingredients like bamboo shoot.😄

In reply to Karrie. Hi Karrie! There isn't any brand that I stick to (I just buy whatever available in my local Chinese shop).Yes, short grain sweet rice works perfectly fine for this recipe. Happy cooking!
