and eat again. Ooh..... Surely, will be making it again.
The dough is very sticky and hard to handle with my hands but I did it anyway. I spread 5 spice powder on the dough, but some people they use Nam Yee as the filling. Some would sprinkle sesame seeds but I opted out of sesame seeds.
You can use a plastic sheet to roll the glutinous rice. I have non at home, so I simply use
the mat for making sushi to roll to a rectangular shape.

8. Heat up enough oil for deep frying. Wait until you see smoke then know that the oil is hot and ready for frying.
