In Nanning, if you really want to find a Guangxi snack that can be mentioned in the same breath with “Old Friends Rice Noodle” in terms of history, popularity and fans’ loyalty, it must be the “rice dumpling”.

Because the wrappers of rice dumplings are made of rice flour, the steamed rice dumplings are so crystal-clear that the filling can be seen easily, and look really mouthwatering. Moreover, the rice dumpling features its elastic dumpling wrapper, lean meat and chopped water chestnuts, making it a fresh cuisine. When it is steamed, an appetizing smell will come out of the steamer. Crystal-clear wrappers, a plump and round shape, special wampee sauce and a little oil make a bowl of rice dumplings a delicious dish, also a traditional snack with Nanning's unique characteristics.

In North China, dumplings usually go with garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. However, the rice dumpling of Nanning completely deviates from the original seasoning principle. After putting hot rice dumplings on the plate, drizzling them with a little golden peanut oil, and pouring atop sweet and sour wampee sauce, you will get a dish of good-tasting and non-greasy dumplings which retain the original aroma of corn and water chestnuts.
