Chung a.k.a. brown rice dumplings

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if the fine folks here would mind sharing a recipe for chung, or rice dumplings. The picture below is of one from a kind lady who runs a food cart near Yale New Haven Hospital and medical school. It is in a lotus leaf that she carefully removes before serving. It is filled with vegetarian meat and mushrooms. The rice appears to be glutinous brown rice and peanuts. Any advice would be appreciated.

The rest of the food here is a basil tofu, pak choy, cabbage, and some vegetable pickles.

Dan: Are you sure it's glutinous brown rice and not just brown from flavouring? If it doesn't have to be specifically vegetarian, check out this thread:

Cantonese = leen yeep joong (sticky rice in lotus leave)

Or search out the thread on joongzi / joong (sticky rice in bamboo leaves)
