I personally don’t like to eat jujube rice dumplings, because I don’t like the taste of cooked jujubes. I always feel that there is a smell of Chinese medicine. My favorite is clear water rice dumplings and ribs rice dumplings. This year my son asked not to include salty rice dumplings. I listened to him. Don't worry. There was a pack of dates bought early in the refrigerator, so I washed and ate some of them, and half of them were left. I took them to the store and packed them with red date dumplings. When I took the photo, I peeled one off and I ate the zongzi after the photo was taken. The red dates were okay, very sweet, and the flesh was very thick. There was no taste of Chinese medicine in the mouth. The red date zongzi was unprecedented. I ate three of them. Haha, we still need jujube and zongzi to be delicious~! "

Tips:
Zongzi is delicious, but you can’t eat more. The cooked zongzi can’t be eaten at one time. You can put it in a fresh-keeping bag. You can store it in the refrigerator for three to five days. You can also store it in the freezer compartment. Just cooked.
