Fresh Meat Dumplings

Buy pork belly one day in advance, cut into small pieces, add 1 tablespoon of salt, 4 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, and 10 grams of fruit powder, mix well, and marinate in the refrigerator for more than 8 hours. Grass fruit powder has the effect of enhancing aroma and flavor. Adding grass fruit powder in an appropriate amount makes the meat more scent!
2.
Wash the glutinous rice several times with water and drain the water. If the glutinous rice is not drained, water will leak out during the process of making zongzi, which will affect the action of making zongzi.

The zong leaves and zong ropes should be washed and drained in advance. Use scissors to remove the tip of the zong leaves at both ends, and roll the zong leaves into a cone-shaped funnel. Pay attention that there should be no gaps at the bottom of the sharp corners.

Fill in a small spoonful of glutinous rice and press tightly (you can poke with chopsticks to fill the sharp corners with glutinous rice.)
5.
Put in a piece of marinated pork belly.

8.
Fix the zongzi with one hand, and take the zongzi with the other hand. The hand that pinches the zongzi fixes one end of the zongzi, and the two hands cooperate to tie the zongzi tightly.

The wrapped rice dumplings are cut off the excess leaves and ropes to make the rice dumplings look beautiful and tidy. Pour the rice dumplings into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water to soak for an hour, cover, cook for 2 hours, and simmer for about 1 hour. The cooking time of zongzi can be flexibly controlled, depending on the size of the zongzi.

Tips:
The longer the marinating time, the more delicious the pork belly, and the wrapped zongzi will be more fragrant. Soaking the zongzi in water for a period of time can reduce the time to cook the zongzi.
