The last batch of zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival is finally finished! I planned to pack some yellow rice dumplings and sago crystal dumplings, but the storage capacity of the refrigerator is limited. After these are eaten, I will pack them again, leaving two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves. When I want to eat it, I can also pack rice dumplings instead of Dragon Boat Festival. . In the past few days, I have packed four kinds of zongzi, two sweet and two salty. It satisfies the stomachs of these two foodies at home. For me, the clear water zongzi is my favorite. I don’t put any ingredients, just I like to eat with glutinous rice buns. I gave some to my friends and left it in the freezer. Whenever I want to eat it, I can steam it and eat it. The rice dumplings are delicious but I can’t eat more. If I eat too much, it hurts my stomach. "

Tips:
1. Zongzi is delicious, but you can't eat too much. If you eat too much, it hurts the stomach. For the elderly and children, it is best to eat one at a time;

2. Steam the rice dumplings again when they are cold, do not eat cold rice dumplings.
