Although the Dragon Boat Festival has passed for many days. But I still wrote a recipe for this zongzi to share. Just because this year's zongzi was wrapped by myself, it was too ugly. So he looked for opportunities to practice his hands again. Today's rice dumplings do not use reed leaves or bamboo leaves. When I went to the countryside to pick vegetables, I saw the corn on the ground with wide green leaves, and I felt like it could be used to make rice dumplings. So I folded a lot of corn leaves, and after they came back and washed them, they could really pack green zongzi. And the cooked rice dumplings still have the fragrance of corn leaves. "

Ingredients

300g Glutinous Rice
bowl Red Dates
Several Corn Leaf

Corn Leaf Red Date Zongzi

1. Corn leaves cleaned

2. Soak red dates in advance

3. You can take appropriate amount of glutinous rice according to your own consumption, I used 300 grams, soaked 3 hours in advance

4. There is a hard stalk in the middle of the corn leaf. Tear off the soft leaves on both sides along the hard stalk.

5. Form a small cone

6. Put a little glutinous rice and two more dates

7. Add a little more glutinous rice

8. Fold off the extra corn leaves, cover the rice, then wrap it up as you like, then tie it up with a small rope

9. Look, it's all wrapped up, it looks much more beautiful than before

10. Put it in a pot of cold water, boil for 20 minutes after the water is boiled

11. Soak in the water until it is warm and take it out

12. Look, the green corn leaves can also make beautiful rice dumplings

13. Zongzi is very stylish, and I like it when I look at it

Tips:
The amount of glutinous rice and the amount of red dates can be determined according to your own consumption and the size of the zongzi; corn leaves have one smooth side and the other side hairy, so you can put a smooth piece of bread inside; because the zongzi is small and the rice has been soaked, So after boiling the water, it only took 20 minutes to boil corn leaves; you can eat zongzi anytime you want to eat in the future, and it is more convenient to obtain materials than reed bamboo leaves.
