The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and everyone is beginning to make zongzi. Most of the rice used for making zongzi is glutinous rice. This time I used yellow rice. The yellow rice is slightly larger than the millet grains and has a light yellow color. It is very sticky after being cooked. Yellow rice can be used for cooking porridge, making cakes, making rice and making wine. Some people don’t know yellow rice, but everyone knows about rice cakes. Yes, the noodles used for making rice cakes are yellow rice noodles. It has the same characteristics as glutinous rice. The dumplings are also very delicious. , You can try it if you like it!
