Red bean and candied dates rice dumplings
Eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Zongzi is also called horn millet and tube rice dumpling. It has a long history and has many variations. In the Jin Dynasty, zongzi was officially designated as a Dragon Boat Festival food. There are also many shapes of zongzi, generally including equilateral triangle, equirectangular, pointed triangle, square, rectangular and other shapes. In my memory, the most traditional thing in our hometown is the triangular rice dumplings, which are wrapped in big balls, made of two layers of fresh reed leaves, and cooked slowly in a large iron pot. They are cooked the night before the Dragon Boat Festival, usually for 3-4 hours, and then soaked until the Dragon Boat Festival the next morning to eat. . . . . . Because zongzi is made of glutinous rice and is not easy to digest, when eating zongzi, you can drink some tea or sugar water to help digestion. Last year, my mother and I just learned a new method of processing rice dumpling leaves. No need to cook them. Just freeze the fresh rice dumpling leaves in the refrigerator overnight, then take them out and defrost them. The leaves will become soft and easy to use. Please learn it. . .
