1. Zongzi leaves, fresh leaves are used here, vacuum-packed, and dried ones are also sold in the market. You only need to soak them until they are soft.
2. Two zongzi blades are used overlappingly. If one is used, it is too thin and easy to be damaged when the rope is tied, which affects the quality of the zongzi.
3. Form a funnel shape from the middle of the two leaves. Pay attention to the small holes below, which are used for drainage and must be kept
4. Turn it over and you can see a clear small hole. This hole can’t be made too big. If it’s too big, the rice will leak out, and if it’s too small, the water won’t drain out.
5. When packing, add the soaked rice and the ingredients you want to put in the good holes in the country, such as: candied dates, honey beans, meat, etc., and then use the extra part of the zongzi leaf as the lid to cover the lower end And fasten it with a rope, be sure to fasten it, otherwise it’s cooking
6. Cooking zongzi is a long time. If you use a pressure cooker, it only takes about 30 minutes. If it is an ordinary pot, it needs to be cooked for 2 to 3 hours. After it is cooked, you need to soak it in the soup for about 30 minutes before eating. ,taste good. Note that there is a missing meter on the upper left side, but the rope is not fastened, and it expands after being heated.
