I’m ready to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. I used to like the festival the most, because the festival can be a holiday, but now I’m most afraid of the festival, because I don’t know where to go, and I can’t just stay at home like I used to. There is a lot of people going out, but if you can make some snacks at home as a family, it will be fun.
In today's society, whether it is Chinese New Year or winter, everyone is used to going out to eat. Zongzi is bought outside, and glutinous rice balls are also bought outside, so the festive atmosphere is getting less and less intense...
Everyone says busy!
Watching TV today, the actor said something: As long as people have health and relatives, they are already very happy.
During the holidays, it is an opportunity for the whole family to experience this kind of happiness. It doesn’t have to be for food, in fact, it can also be used for many other things.
If you don’t want to do some things, there will be an excuse. If you want to do it, there will be a chance!
I hope everyone will not use "busy" as an excuse to ignore the happiness they have!

2. Soak the bought mung beans in water overnight and remove their shells.

3. Shelling is a very laborious process, constantly rubbing, shaking, flushing, and then picking. Fortunately, I often did this job in the laboratory, otherwise I would definitely give up halfway.

4. Add 2 tablespoons of abalone juice, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 3 teaspoons of salt to the glutinous rice and northeastern rice soaked in water!

5. Cut the pork belly into 1.5*1.5*1.5 size pieces, add 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, 3 teaspoons 52 degrees Luzhou Laojiao, 2 teaspoons Zhujiangqiao brand oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons barbecued pork sauce and 2 teaspoons pork rib sauce, and 2 teaspoons Chuhou sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir well, marinate for about 1 and a half hours.

6. When making zongzi, put the sausage and diced mushrooms in the rice and stir well.

7. Fork two wide bamboo leaf beaks and make a discount so that the inside becomes a funnel shape, and then add a smaller bamboo leaf on the thin side of the funnel to make the height of the two sides equal.

8. Start adding ingredients, first add glutinous rice, then peeled mung beans, then put shrimp, scallops, fatty meat, and salted egg yolk. This is all the material. I call it Babao Zongzi because there are a total of 8 materials in it.

9. Pour another layer of beans and then another layer of rice. Remember: Don't put too much, and the height should not be higher than the edge of the bamboo leaves. Then put a bamboo leaf on the surface.

10. Fold the bamboo leaves on both sides to the middle.

11. Fold on both sides. Bund up with water weeds can be boiled in a pot. After the water has boiled, turn off the heat and cook for 1 and a half hours.

Tips:
1. The most used zongzi leaves are generally bamboo leaves and reed leaves. However, in order to make more money, some illegal vendors use corn leaves, banana leaves and other leaves to pretend to be. Not only that, in order to make the zongzi leaves look green and bright, illegal vendors use industrial materials such as copper sulfate to color the zongzi leaves. Therefore, many experts have reminded: When buying zongzi leaves, pay attention to the fact that there are almost no fresh zongzi leaves on the market at present, because the annual consumption season of zongzi is around the Dragon Boat Festival, and the picking season of zongzi leaves is usually July to October. Due to the influence of regions, preservation, and transportation, there is no way to ensure that the green leaves of fresh zongzi leaves remain unchanged for a long time. In addition, the rice dumplings must be steamed at a high temperature before being sold, so the leaves of the rice dumplings cannot be guaranteed to be bright green. It is safer to buy those with a slightly yellowish color.

2. The mung beans used for making zongzi must be peeled, because the bean skin is rough and will have a slightly beany taste, which will seriously affect the taste, but when buying mung beans, you must pick the ones with the skins and peel them when you go home. , Otherwise, just buy peeled mung bean kernels, although they look the same, they are not delicious enough.

3. The meat used for making zongzi must be fatty, otherwise the zongzi will not be fragrant, and the amount of sauce used is estimated. The specific amount depends on everyone's preference. You can put it or not. However, you must use high-quality wine, preferably the "Luzhou Laojiao" with a history of more than 400 years, because it is fragrant and mellow. The longer the meat is marinated, the more fragrant it will be, and the scent that comes on the table is pungent.

4. For the rice used for making zongzi, if you use glutinous rice alone, it will be too sticky and will make you livelier. The best way is to add a little northeastern rice to the glutinous rice.
