My sister in law, Diem, bought a whole bunch of these and shared them with all of the sisters. It's a Vietnamese dish that's usually made at Vietnamese New Years.
It's made with mochi rice on the outside.
And pork and mung beans on the inside.
She also gave us some pickled radish that you're supposed to eat with it.
It was OMG soooooo good.
