)
1. Soak the glutinous rice for 2-3 hours, clean the zong leaves and cut off the stems, boil for 3-5 minutes, and soak the jujube for 10-20 minutes
)
2. If you are just starting the bag, it is recommended to use two leaves, which will be easier to operate. Fold inward along the edge of the zong leaves, about 1/5
)
3. Fold the leaf again, and put the small edge of the previous step to the left hand side, so that this corner becomes thick (this photo is not clear, and I posted another one at the end)
)
4. After placing the rice and jujube (the rice should be level with the leaves, so that the package will be very full), draw two circles and fold them towards one circle.
)
5. Fold this part towards the right hand and the outside of the body
)
6. After folding, grab it with your right hand, and start tying the rope with your left hand along this part, and tie it in the direction of the right hand in a circle so that the bundle will not fall apart
)
7. If the rope is tied in the right direction, it will not loosen or leak rice.
)
8. When boiling, the water must exceed the zongzi by about 3 cm, otherwise the top will be undercooked. Bring to medium heat, about 1 hour or 1.5 hours. Adjust the time according to the size of your bag. I use 1 for such a big bag. Hours 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 2-3 hours
)
9. This is ready to be cooked
)
10. This is the photo of the third step. I am afraid that everyone will not be able to see it. I sent another one.

Tips:It is better to choose round rice. You can use 2 zong leaves for each package at first, so you can buy more appropriately, and dry it is good for storage. Don’t take out the zong leaves at one time during the packaging process. , Otherwise it will be dry and easy to split when wrapping. The strapping direction is very important, pay attention to adjustment. Ingenious dears, let's do it, it will be the happiest thing to taste the delicious food for your family!
