Every year my mom will make Bak Chang for us, relatives and friends. and some for my close friend(s) heheh.. if she allows. this post is about how she make it. wrapping up from Pandan Leaf with Glutinous Rice and Chopped to bits Pork meat with Mushrooms , HEHBEE (fried shrimp, i think) and the sweet sweet stuff i dunno how u call it ahhaha!.
Its the Nyonya Bak Chang.
here is the fried glutinous rice.
Pandan leaf curved it in to the angle needed. and hold it firmly. if u slip then u need to redo it. this thing need experience and skills. i asked her do u need help from my friends, she went mai mai mai.. chitkeng later mai mai mai. hahah!. do alone better. no need waste time, oh ok lo.. as u wish. but i kinda pity her lo.. sendiri buat. my aunt dun wanna help her. she rather help her neighbour. sobx.
then u put the rice in. look at how she holds it. then spread it to the side for space to put the LEMAK PORK MEAT WOOTZ!!!
and of cos the nut is the most important one!.
added more meat to cover it..
and more rice to cover the meat.
wrap it up and tie it with the specific type of string.
and leave it hanging till it reached 10 per bundle.
after that to put it at one side waiting to let it boil. boiling takes about 1 hour i think or more im not sure.. i know she uses a big barrel to boil. which can fit about 4-6 bundles. she uses 2 barrels so can save more time.
here are those cooked ones. oh my aunt helped to wrap some 70pcs and i went to collect them to bring home for boil… and my uncle ordered 100pcs to give away. so mom have to wrap another 30 for him then the rest are for own relatives and friends.
side angle from the bundles hanging.
