The first glutinous rice should be soaked for 4 hours, or longer, so that the glutinous rice dumplings are softer and glutinous.
The first is the ratio of glutinous rice to filling, too much or too little will affect the taste. Most of the glutinous rice, and a small part of the filling.
When wrapping zongzi, make sure that every corner is filled with glutinous rice, and gently press the mold with your hands for safety.
The first is when the cotton thread is used to fix the dumpling leaves. Pay attention to the strength, the strong dumpling leaves will break, and the small strength of the dumpling leaves is easy to scatter.
The first is to cook the zongzi, the water should not be above the zongzi noodles, first boil over high heat, and then turn to low heat and cook slowly so that the zongzi are heated evenly and maintain a good shape.
