Understanding Flavor

I made your joong last week for the festival! Followed your recipe to a tee! My hubby who is from Guang Zhou (and a hard-to-please foodie) absolutely loved it! He said he will never buy joong from the shops again because with home made joongs, we can stuff whatever ingredients we want! Please note your online recipe (which I printed out to follow) is missing the “add 1 tbsp of peanuts” under “fill the pocket” section 😊 so some of my joongs missed the peanuts but my husband still loved them!!!! 
Someone asked below how long it took to wrap 20 joongs. If it’s your first time like me and have a young family to put to bed at night, I would say allow the wrapping to be over 2 nights. Overall, a huge success and will make every year. Thank you for your AMAZING CHANNEL! Your dad is such an inspiration. I wanna be him at 80 fr.
I snuck in an additional Chinese sausage slice per joong and hubby says to put in more mung bean for him please! Yum!

I'm a American. One of my best friends I from China. His mother made these. Absolutely amazing. The perfect snack/meal.

Thank you so much for this video.  My mother was also from Tai Shan, therefore your recipe is so familiar to my mother’s one.  My mother used to make them every year for all of us and her grand children.  She made near 70 - 80 pieces every time.  We all love them.  My son had asked me do I know how to make them.  Unfortunately, I don’t.  I may try to make them since I have your video to follow.
