[dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi Chapter] Kidney Bean, Peanut and Date Zongzi

1. Soak glutinous rice, white kidney beans (for filling), and peanuts for one day in advance; soak jujube for one hour.

2. Wash the fresh zong leaves and soak in clean water for about 10 minutes.

3. Boil a pot of water, put the washed zong leaves in boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, then take them out and put them in cold water.

4. Take two zong leaves (the zong leaves I bought are a bit narrow, so I used two. If the zong leaves you buy are wide enough, you can use one), and press half of the zong leaves below.

5. Rotate it into a funnel.

6. Start to put the fillings: put dates and peanuts at the bottom.

7. Spread a layer of glutinous rice.

8. Put the prepared white kidney bean filling in the middle (this is optional, or you don't need to put it).

9. Spread another layer of glutinous rice.

10. Don't put it too full (that way it won't hold), and don't put too little (that way the rice dumplings will collapse), press it with your hand and fold the rice dumpling leaves so that the rice dumpling leaves are wrapped.

11. The extra leaves can wrap the zongzi, and finally tie them with cotton thread (this is wrapped, hehe, not bad).

12. Put one part on the grate (boiled zongzi is very tough when eaten, and partly boil it in water (the water should be higher than the zongzi), boil it on high heat for half an hour, then turn to medium heat and cook for another 40 minutes.

13. This is cooked, and a few eggs were added to it when it was boiled.

Tips:

1. The greener zong leaves are not the better. The green zong leaves are probably dyed with pigments.

2. The normal zong leaves should have a very natural fragrance, and after the zongzi is cooked, if the water is light yellow, it means that the zong leaves are okay.

3. The making process of kidney bean filling is not written, everyone should know it, and the method of making mung bean filling and red bean filling is similar. You can search online
