五香素滷肉糉子 Five Spice Vegan Joong (Zongzi) ~ Aromatic Bamboo Leaves Rice Dumplings



以純素食材和巧手烹飪延續傳統情懷

每年當端午節即將來臨之前,總會讓我想起童年時家中飄著糉葉糯米香的回憶——粵式糯米糉子讓整個廚房充滿了溫暖的香氣。香軟的糯米用竹葉細心包裹,裡面藏著鹹蛋黃、綠豆、臘腸、五花腩等傳統食材。那是一年一度的團圓味道,是家人圍坐、分享團敍的時光。

Honouring traditions with a plant-based twist

Every year, as the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, I’m swept back to childhood memories of the Cantonese glutinous rice parcels, Joong. The sticky fragrant rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, filled our kitchen with comforting aromas, each parcel encasing traditional favourites like belly pork, salted egg yolks, preserved sausage and mung beans. It was always a moment of celebration, connection, and taste.
