Tips

The green dumplings are the most distinctive seasonal food popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai during the Qingming Festival. The most traditional is the turquoise dumplings made of mugwort juice kneaded into glutinous rice flour and wrapped with bean paste filling.

Because mugwort is not easy to find and I don't like the smell, I use leafy greens or green juice instead. In my opinion, green juice powder is the most suitable material for green juice, which is bright green in color and has no peculiar smell, and has a fine texture after being stirred into a puree, which blends well with all kinds of ingredients.

The addition of clarifying powder to the glutinous rice flour can neutralize the viscosity and increase the transparent texture, making the green dumplings look shiny and chewy in the mouth;
