Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:I bought red dates, honey beans, bean paste and several kinds of sweet zongzi. Purple rice and glutinous rice 1-1 are soaked one day ahead of time.

2. 

   Step2:Zongye and Malian are also soaked one night in advance. After soaking, boil in a steamer and disinfect for 10 minutes. The tightness of zongzi is moderate. I'm usually a little tighter. I can't be too tight, or I'll burst or leak rice. Add two dates and peanuts to each zongzi. This is how the standard rice dumplings are made. The cooked rice dumplings are firm and strong, with good taste. Each zongzi is about 110 / 120g in size.

3. 

   Step3:Purple rice is very sticky and delicious. Purple rice is not black rice or blood glutinous rice. Black rice is not glutinous.

4. 

   Step4:It also includes some glutinous rice, peanuts, dates and zongzi. Add some peanuts to increase the flavor and taste to make the dates sweet and greasy.

5. 

   Step5:Boil zongzi in high heat and low heat for 3 to 4 hours. It's better to press a heavy plate on zongzi. Let zongzi not float over the water to avoid uneven heating. In the meantime, add more boiled water if you find less water. Turn off the fire and simmer for 1 / 2 hour. Put it in cold water after you leave the pot. Change the water twice more. It's more sticky and strong. Of course, you'd better eat it hot if your stomach is uncomfortable.
