Making zongzi is an important activity in the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also one of the representatives of China food culture. There are many ways to make zongzi. The following will introduce a simple and easy-to-learn method of making zongzi.

First, soak a proper amount of glutinous rice in water, manually pick out foreign bodies and drain the water.

1. Prepare materials

Besides glutinous rice, we also need appetizing materials such as meat, egg yolk, rock sugar, refined salt and mushrooms, as well as some auxiliary materials such as bamboo leaves and cotton thread.

2. Packaging skills

Blanch the bamboo leaves with boiling water and dry them for later use. Fold the triangular bamboo leaves in half first, and then press them with your fingers to form a small bowl. Add a proper amount of soaked glutinous rice, add meat, egg yolk and spices, and then add some rock sugar and salt.

Then squeeze the short hoops on both sides of the leaves into the middle, so that the dumplings are wrapped tightly and will not be lost. Finally, take two bamboo leaves and roll the zongzi, and tie it tightly with cotton thread, not too tight or too loose.

Cook, take out the pot

Cook the wrapped zongzi in the pot for about 2-3 hours until the rice becomes soft and rotten.

In addition to the above steps, there are many skills and points in making zongzi, and some areas also have some local characteristics, such as lotus leaf zongzi and jujube cloud zongzi. Consider your own preferences and needs, and combine raw materials to make more colorful tastes!

Matters needing attention

(1) Pay attention to choosing healthy, clean and hygienic ingredients for making zongzi.

(2) When wrapping zongzi, when scalding bamboo leaves or lotus leaves, don't overdo it, so as not to affect the taste.

(5) Making zongzi requires patience and care, especially for beginners. In the process of making zongzi, if there is something unsatisfactory, you can correct and adjust it in time. Don't let nature take its course or rush for success.

(6) In order to make zongzi more delicious, we can add some seasonings and ingredients according to our personal tastes, such as red dates and red bean paste, which can increase the sweetness and nutritional value of zongzi.

Generally speaking, making zongzi requires certain skills and experience, but it is easy to master as long as you study and practice carefully. Zongzi is not only an important symbol of traditional festivals, but also one of the representatives of China culture.
