Big chunks of meat and flavour wrapped in bamboo leaves–made with lots of love.
Mama Yau taught me how to make this one holiday when I said I was worried that if I didn't learn how to do it, I wouldn’t be able to pass the skill on to the next generation. That day we made more than 100 together.
My grandma passed it down to my mother, my mother to me, and now I’m making them for you.
