Corn and peas match well in terms of color and nutrition!

Fresh corn and peas are already on the market. I bought them on weekends and plan to save them in advance. I'm really not a person who can understand when these crops will go off the market. I missed it, but I have to wait for next year.

Peas and corn kernels are my usual ingredients, fried rice and porridge are very useful.

The zongzi wrapped with fresh corn and peas, plus white glutinous rice, is just as sweet and tempting!

The golden corn, the green peas, and the snow-white glutinous rice. Is the color matching beautiful?

It's the type I like!

Because it was wrapped with the honey red bean dumplings, a red bean was accidentally mixed in it!

Is it even more splendid? It will become a colorful rice dumpling soon! "

Ingredients

Pea Tamales

1. Soak the glutinous rice for more than four hours in advance.

2. Slowly cut the fresh corn and peel the peas. Mix it up. Add sugar.

3. The zong leaves are folded counterclockwise into a funnel shape.
Put the rice in and compact with the back of a spoon.

4. The zong leaves on both sides are super folded to wrap the glutinous rice.

5. Fold the zong leaves that grew out.

6. Shape the little tail and bend it to one side.
Tie it with cotton thread.

7. Put water in the pot, put a small grate at the bottom, and put the dumplings in. The water has to be over the rice dumplings. Bring to a boil, turn to low heat, cook for 2.5 hours, and simmer for 2 hours or more.

Tips:
1. Soaking glutinous rice in advance can make the taste softer and glutinous, and it will also save cooking time.

2. Adding white sugar can be discretionary, according to personal preference!

3. The cooking time is not less than 2.5 hours. After turning off the heat and simmering for a period of time, the effect will be better!
