Red bean and red date rice dumplings

Overview

Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi is a traditional Chinese custom and a unique seasonal food in China. However, sweet rice dumplings are rich in sugar and calories, while salty rice dumplings are rich in oil and fat, making people stay away from them. This time I tried to make multigrain rice dumplings. Adzuki beans and millet were added to the glutinous rice, and red dates were used as the filling without sugar. During the process of making it, I was still a little uneasy. Would such light rice dumplings be accepted by the two gourmets in the family... I didn't expect that the result would be a huge hit! Then do this, which not only satisfies people's appetite, but also ensures nutrition and health.
