Zongzi (jujube)

Introduction:

Zongzi, also known as "jiaoshu" and "Tongzong", is a traditional festival food of the Han nationality on the Dragon Boat Festival. It is made by steaming glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi leaves. The legend is spread in memory of Qu Yuan. It is a traditional food with the deepest cultural accumulation in Chinese history and is deeply loved by people. "

Production steps:

Step 1: soak the glutinous rice one day in advance to make it absorb enough water, so as to reduce the final cooking time. For the round glutinous rice I use here, parents can choose the glutinous rice they like, any kind of glutinous rice is OK. It's OK here. Don't care too much about the type of glutinous rice!

Step 2: dry rice dumpling leaves soak in water one day in advance, soak soft, so good package!

Step 3: clean the jujube in advance and soak it for a while, but the jujube doesn't need to soak for too long. Soak it for 3-4 hours!

Step 4: before using Zongye, put some salt in the pot and boil it for 5 minutes in advance. Take out the pot to cool and clean it. Cut off the big and hard stalks at both ends of the Zongye. Then look at the size of the Zongye and take a piece of Zongye. Here, if the Zongye is small, you can take two pieces of Zongye and roll them up into a cone shape from the middle!

Step 5: put a date at the bottom first!

Step 6: fill some glutinous rice on the jujube. Cover the jujube and press it. Pay attention to the filling of rice here!

Step 7: put two jujubes on the filled glutinous rice, one on one side, and then put glutinous rice on the filled jujube, compact, I pack three jujubes in a zongzi, parents can decide according to their own situation!

Step 8: before packing, use a spoon to compact the glutinous rice. After compaction, pull down the top two leaves to wrap the cone at the bottom. Shape and wrap the surplus leaves according to the outline of the glutinous rice dumpling. After packing, tie them up firmly with fragrant thatch rope. If you don't have fragrant thatch rope, you can use ordinary cotton thread In order to, as long as it is not afraid of high temperature boiling, can tie strong rope can!

Step 9: Boil the wrapped dumplings in a cold water pan for about 2 hours (according to the degree of soaking the glutinous rice! ）When the glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, it can be taken out of the pot. Now it's hot and it's on the preservation. Parents can cool it and put it in the refrigerator freezer for unlimited time. When eating, they can take out the pot and steam it. If you like sweet, you can take some sugar and eat it with it! ~It's delicious! ~

Materials required:

Glutinous rice: 500g

Red dates: moderate

Zongye: right amount

Note: 1 I choose round glutinous rice here, but there are many kinds of glutinous rice, such as round glutinous rice, long glutinous rice and so on. Relatively speaking, round glutinous rice tastes softer and waxier than long glutinous rice. So friends who like to eat sticky glutinous rice can consider round glutinous rice, on the contrary, long glutinous rice! 2. The soaking time of glutinous rice is actually very random, ranging from 2-4 hours to 1 day. That's because the later processing can make up for it. For example, for glutinous rice that doesn't have much soaking time, you can consider cooking zongzi for a long time to make the glutinous rice soft and glutinous. If the soaking time is long and the glutinous rice is in place, you can cook it for a short time, and the glutinous rice will become soft and glutinous, so it's We can adjust by ourselves! This kind of zongzi is made without any sugar. It's only set off by the sweetness of jujube. But if you like sweetness, you can eat it with sugar! Will be more delicious Oh ~ taste Pro can DIY ~ I wish Pro good appetite Oh! It's really hard to make 4 bags of zongzi into a triangle. In fact, parents can also try all kinds of shapes they are used to or like. As long as the bags are tight and firm, it doesn't matter what shape they have! Finally, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival!!!
