The next day, cut the prepared candied dates into small dices according to personal preference (you can also not cut them)
Then start making zongzi, take a zongzi leaf and make it into a funnel shape
Grab some rice and put it in and put a jujube
Just put it in the funnel once and leave a little edge when it is full
Slowly fold off the long leaves at the top, making sure not to lose any rice
Then fold the long leaves here naturally to make a rice dumpling
Then tie it tightly with thread
The rice dumplings will not be cooked well if the water is not enough, so they need to be cooked for a while
cooked
The glutinous texture of the rice dumplings will only develop when they are cold, so take them out and soak them in cold water or let them cool naturally
