How to make zongzi?

The practice of Dahuangmi Zongzi is as follows:

Tools/materials: rice, red dates, zongye, bowls, cotton thread, clean water, chopsticks, spoons and pots.

1. First pour rice into a bowl, add rice-free water, soak for more than 8 hours, then take it out and drain it.

2. Prepare some red dates, wash the leaves in advance and blanch them in a pot for about 3-5 minutes.

3. Take a leaf of Zongzi, fold it into a corner, first add 1 tablespoon of rhubarb rice, poke it with chopsticks to make it tighter, and then add red dates.
