Zimi and jujube zongzi
(153765 views)
From childhood, most people eat date zongzi. Northerners are not used to salty zongzi. It's OK to eat one occasionally. Before Dragon Boat Festival, I used to make zongzi for my mother or mother-in-law. This year, I wanted to make some zongzi by myself. I went to the supermarket to buy purple rice. The dates still used. Of course, I can also use red dates or bean paste. It should be noted that purple rice is not black rice. Purple rice belongs to glutinous rice. It tastes very glutinous. Black rice is not glutinous rice. You can also put less black rice if you like it. -

Cooking Steps
Step1:Soak glutinous rice and purple rice in water one night in advance. Add more water. Rice is very absorbent.
Step2:Soak the glutinous rice and purple rice and pour out water. Mix well.
Step3:Put the bamboo leaves in a large pot and cook for 5 minutes. During the cooking process, use chopsticks to open them so as to avoid that the bamboo leaves in the pot cannot be cooked.
Step4:Cut the roots of the bamboo leaves. Take two bamboo leaves and fold them into a cone. If the bamboo leaf is large, one piece is enough.
Step5:Use a spoon to add half of the glutinous rice into the cone. Put a date.
Step6:Fill up the rice with a spoon.
Step7:Turn it up. The bottom of the palm forms an edge of the zongzi.
Step8:Then go along the cone-shaped bag, and finally form a quadrangle. Tie the rope (the rope can't be too loose, or it will be scattered after boiling).
Step9:Put it into the electric pressure cooker. Add water without rice dumplings. Select the bean tendon function.
Step10:Simmer for another hour or two after cooking. It's softer and waxier.
Cooking tips:1. The proportion of glutinous rice and purple rice can be adjusted according to personal preferences. 2. If you like to eat sweet, you can soak glutinous rice and purple rice. After pouring out the water, add some white sugar. 3. If there is no electric pressure cooker, it can be boiled in an ordinary pot, but it needs to be boiled for 23 hours on a low heat. 4. Because the rice has been soaked for one night, it won't expand too much when cooking, so the rope can't be tied too loose. Otherwise, it will spread when cooking. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
