KETO CHINESE RICE DUMPLINGS (BAK ZHANG) 生酮肉粽

Good Day to everyone whom browsing my blog right now. 

Chinese Dumpling Festival is approaching, for this year, it will falls on this coming Thursday which will be 25th June 2020.

I believed most of you might be wondering, how can i make Bak Zhang without rice, before i come out with this recipe, i also doubt it can be a huge success. But it really tasted like the REAL Bak Zhang but without rice. The ordinary Bak Zhang is about 500 Kcals to 600 Kcals each, while for my Bak Zhang, is only 184 Kcals, 8 Net Carbs each.

As i check online, Keto Bak Zhangs are selling SGD 8.00 each, while in Malaysia, is selling RM 15.00 - RM 18.00 each. I believe no one will share the recipe, else how can they sell with this price.

I cannot find any recipe online, hence i have come out with my own recipe. You may adjust the ingredients according to your own liking.

And just for all information, even diabetic patients can have this Bak Zhang, as it is grains free, gluten free and sugar free.

Hope you enjoy my recipe, if you meet any difficulties, kindly PM me at my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pegscottage/
