Cover the material with the long reed leaf, wind it to the left hand side, and add a reed leaf at the bottom, align it with the sharp corner of the zongzi, and pad it underneath. After the zongzi is facing upwards, you can see the opening. Use the thumb of your right hand to reach in and compress the ingredients. The compressed opening is filled with ingredients again.

Cover the opening with the fourth zong leaf, go around the left, around the sharp corner of the zongzi, pinch both ends of the zongzi head inward and tie it with a rope

Put it in an electric saucepan and simmer for 4 hours (I cooked it at night so I simmered it overnight)

Pay attention to the water level in the pot during the cooking. When you see that the water is only half boiled, add cold water until it is cooked.
Tips:
The whole grains must be soaked thoroughly in advance, and then simmered slowly to have a soft and waxy texture. I also learned how to make small-foot dumplings according to the video on the Internet, and I did it by myself, so I can’t take detailed pictures. Everyone You can find a video to watch
