The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. As a traditional festival in China, the Dragon Boat Festival naturally needs all kinds of delicious zongzi. The custom of eating zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival has been popular in China for thousands of years. There are many kinds of zongzi, but it's best to count the ones you want to eat. My hometown is a coastal area of Guangdong Province. As a regional taste difference, in addition to peeled mung beans, salted egg yolk, fat pork as the filling, glutinous rice as the main ingredient, I also like to add shrimp, scallop and other seafood materials to make zongzi filling. The salted pork zongzi and fat oil infiltrated into the glutinous rice in the process of high-pressure cooking, adding the aroma of glutinous rice. It is very appetizing, melting at the entrance. The fresh and fragrant taste of zongzi leaves and the mellow smell of seafood make people salivate.
Step1:Prepare all materials one day in advance.
Step2:Prepare the streaky pork and soak the glutinous rice one day in advance. Cut the peeled streaky pork and cut it into pieces. I like to eat the meat with a big bite. So cut it thicker. Then put in the seasoning of marinated streaky pork - 1 tbsp of five spice powder, 3 tbsp of raw soy sauce, 1 tbsp of cooking wine, 1.5 tbsp of salt, and a proper amount of cooked sesame seeds. Then grab it by hand. I like to grab it directly every time I marinate the meat. It's easier to taste. Then seal the plastic film and refrigerate it for a night. Anyway, marinate at least 10 More than hours. The glutinous rice is also soaked one night in advance. It is prepared together with streaky pork. It is also sealed with plastic film and placed in the refrigerator for cold storage.
Step3:The peeled mung beans and dried mushrooms are soaked in water. Then start to treat zongzi leaves. Soak the dried bamboo leaves for 10 minutes. Wash them clean and wash them carefully. I wipe each piece with my hands. After washing, put it in hot water and boil it for about 3 minutes. Boiling it can kill bacteria. If the leaves are soft, it's better to pack them. Put in the straw rope and cook it together (the straw rope is not enough. I also used the cotton rope. Wet the cotton rope with water). After cooking, take up the drained water and spread it out to ai

Cooking tips:1. When you buy streaky pork, you should choose the head of belly as much as possible. It's the one with more fat than lean meat. In this way, when you eat zongzi, the meat that will melt at the mouth is the most delicious. Of course, friends who are afraid of being fat will follow you according to their own preferences. If you want to like it, it's OK to be all thin. I think it's still delicious. 2. It's better to buy the whole salted egg and knock it by yourself. I think it's more hygienic. And the whole salted egg is fragrant. You can also wash the salted eggs one day in advance, knock out the yolk and put it in the refrigerator for cold storage. Tips / feedback: good cooking skills.
