The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, the annual Zongzi Festival. Recalling that four or five years ago, I didn't know how to pack rice dumplings, waiting for supermarket promotions to buy rice dumplings. But on the eve of such a holiday, TV networks have various food safety reports. I thought to myself that it’s just making rice dumplings, there will always be the first time. Tossing in the kitchen, I am very brave and feel that I am omnipotent. Before I started, I searched the online video. I watched the video of Master Wufangzhai. If you don’t understand the picture, I suggest you search for that video. Yesterday I searched and I saw the decomposition action. The most important thing is that I just make zongzi for my family. What do I want to do? I don’t want to take it apart and throw away the zong leaves before tasting. Only I use the ingredients, I adjust the taste, and whether I package it well or not. Will not affect the taste.
For the first time, I would pack dozens of rice dumplings every year during the festival, and dozens of rice dumplings can be done in just one afternoon. This year we packed candied dates and chestnut dumplings. The glutinous rice is made of organic glutinous rice. The candied dates are packaged and written for the royal family. The chestnuts were peeled and frozen by my father. These ingredients are much lower in fat than meat dumplings, but my family still likes meat dumplings. , Spiced bacon dumplings, meat dumplings with mung beans, red beans and peanuts. [Candied Date Chestnut Brown] Add sweetness to the Zongzi Festival! "
