The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival. During this festival, we will eat rice dumplings, race dragon boats, and hang wormwood. There is such a legend about zongzi. Zongzi was called "corn millet" in ancient times. The earliest written record is "Feng Tu Ji" in Zhou Dynasty of Jinzhou; and the oldest zongzi is the first honey cold rice dumpling, which is contained in "Recipes". The difference between filling and craftsmanship, zongzi is a traditional food that has been passed down for thousands of years. The custom of dragon boat races began in Wuling, and they are in harmony with each other. The sound is called "Where", the meaning of Suma Qu. The hull of the dragon boat is in the shape of a dragon, or carved with dragon patterns. The dragon is a symbol of supremacy and has the supreme status. The heroes who drive the dragon boat will pass on this tradition endlessly. There are many sources of the saying about hanging wormwood, and there is the theory of warding off evil spirits and praying for blessing. It can regulate qi and blood, warm the meridians. So finished talking about the origin and customs of the traditional eating and celebrating festival, and talking about how we attach importance to this festival and how we spend it up to now. When I was young, every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, I would go back to eat rice dumplings with my parents and elders. If my parents had time to return to their hometown, they could also watch a dragon boat race where a large number of dragon boats were chasing each other. The Dragon Boat Festival in my memory is when family members ate zongzi together. At that time, most of them were pure water white rice dumplings. After they were cooked, they were eaten with sticky sugar. It was a simple match, but the taste was amazing! This year we celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival again. Taking advantage of the free time, I bought the materials and started to dump. Our family still prefers light-flavored rice dumplings. I have seen all kinds of meat dumplings and salty dumplings on the market before, and I have also bought them and tasted them, but in the end they still have a light taste. Therefore, Qingshui rice dumplings, purple potato rice dumplings and millet glutinous rice dumplings were made.

Ingredients

Purple Sweet Potato Rice Dumpling Millet Glutinous Rice Dumpling

1. I use fresh zong leaves, just wash them. Because it is made of sweet rice dumplings, the prepared glutinous rice should be soaked overnight in advance. The purple sweet potato was washed, peeled and diced. When I took the glutinous millet, I saw lotus seeds. I thought about bringing it to pack together. Anyway, I ate it by myself.

2. Take the zong leaves. If the zong leaves are relatively small, use two together, overlap but slightly separate them, and roll them into a cone.

3. Put some glutinous rice in the gathered triangle, and add some purple sweet potato diced.

4. After filling the stuffing, fold the upper zong leaf down to completely cover the opening, and then tighten the zong leaf to the right along the edge of the triangle. Fold the zong leaf and tie it firmly with string.

5. Making zongzi is easy to look at and difficult to make, so you can find more videos to watch it. I watched the video from multiple angles and watched the video many times. I saved a lot of zongzi before wrapping it up. It will take a long time to pack one at the beginning, so just slowly pack more. So it directly leads to a huge inventory of rice dumplings at home.

6. The amount of water used to cook the zongzi needs to cover the zongzi. I made a reference by hand. It takes about an hour to cook rice dumplings in a pressure cooker. It is very convenient to cook in a pressure cooker. If there are too many rice dumplings, you may need to extend the time. After an hour has passed, you can open it and take a look.

7. The cooked rice dumplings are eaten hot

Tips:
1. Zongzi should not be eaten cold and must be eaten hot. The main ingredient of zongzi is glutinous rice, which has a high content of amylopectin. After the glutinous rice is heated, amylopectin will gelatinize, which is beneficial to be decomposed by digestive enzymes and is easier to digest; and once it is cooled, the starch will regenerate, and the intermolecular coagulation will be strengthened, making it difficult to digest.
