Zongzi Love Dragon Boat Festival---[Red Date Zongzi]

Overview

I personally don’t like to eat jujube rice dumplings, because I don’t like the taste of ripe dates. I always feel that they have a Chinese medicinal smell. My favorites are clear water rice dumplings and pork rib rice dumplings. This year, my son asked not to make salty rice dumplings. I listened to him and it made me worry less. There was a pack of dates in the refrigerator that I bought a long time ago, so I washed and ate some of them. Half of them were left, so I took them to the store to make red date rice dumplings. I peeled one off when I was taking pictures, and I ate the rice dumplings after taking the photo. The red dates were okay, very sweet, and the flesh was very thick. There was no taste of traditional Chinese medicine in my mouth. I ate three of these unprecedented red date rice dumplings. Haha, the rice dumplings are delicious only if they have good dates~!
