Dongpo Rou Zongzi
1.
Be sure to choose pork belly that is evenly layered and fat, preferably five-layered (yes, I buy a pork just like a blind date...)
2.
Then start a pot of water and blanch it until it's 80% cooked
3.
Choose scallion white, ginger cut into slices
4.
In a small pot, put the green onion and ginger first, and put the pork belly on top with the skin facing up
5.
Then add rice wine fiercely. Guyue Longshan is good for three years and five years, or Shikumen. Don’t use cooking wine.
6.
Add 150g soy sauce, light soy sauce is fine (I took it at night, it looks a bit like soy sauce)
7.
Add 100g sugar and about 5g salt
8.
Then simmer for two hours, take out a part of the soup, soak the glutinous rice overnight (this is why I must make it at night)
9.
The soup was strained the next day. I added some dried plums and vegetables. I don’t want to add anything at will. I can add some sugar, lard, soy sauce, etc.
10.
Then there is the part of making rice dumplings! The zong leaves are bent into a small funnel shape
11.
Add a big piece of Dongpo meat
12.
Fill it with glutinous rice and buckle the tip of the zong leaves
13.
Fold it and tie it up (forgive me for taking pictures with one hand...)
14.
Put together a large pot, fill the bottom of the pot, add water, press heavy objects on it, and cook it happily for an hour!
