Notes
Tips: Season boldly - the rice absorbs it all. The open top is the fast-cooking design; do not seal it shut. Keep wrappers covered while working. Steam 8 minutes to translucent.
Food Safety: Steam fully; refrigerate 2 days or freeze 1 month. Re-steam, never microwave.
Allergen Notice: Contains gluten, soy, and possibly pork (Chinese sausage).
