Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. My mother found that various social networking sites began to fight over sweet and salty zongzi. What dates, red dates and sweet taste my mother didn't like very much. My mother's grandmother from her childhood was wrapped with bacon zongzi. It's salty and fragrant. When I bite it, it's oily. It's very fragrant. I can eat many of them at one breath. Now I've learned how to make zongzi. I don't have time to go back to Xiangxi on Dragon Boat Festival. I'll make some rice dumplings at home.
Step1:Soak glutinous rice in clear water for 8-12 hours, and rice dumpling leaves in clear water for 2-3 hour
Step2:Boil bacon in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove grease and dirt from the surface.
Step3:Wash the soaked glutinous rice with clear water and mix it with old and raw soy sauce (some may add a little oil, but there is oil in the bacon, so the mother didn't add it
Step4:Cut the cooked bacon into small pieces for us
Step5:Take two pieces of Zongye and stack them. Roll the Zongye into a tube at the middle point of the Zongye. Fill in 2 / 1 of the glutinous rice. Compact with a spoon
Step6:Put in 2 small pieces of bacon. Fat and thin can be controlled according to your own preferences. (Niang likes to eat the ones with some fat meat. In this way, zongzi is fragrant.
Step7:Fill in the glutinous rice. Wrap it with zongzi leaves after compaction. Wrap the cotton thread tightly (I'm sorry that Niang can't explain this more clearly. In fact, my own zongzi can only be wrapped tightly. As for the good-looking shape, it can only be wrapped after being proficient. If you can't understand it, you can find Niang's hand to teach you how to wrap it.)
Step8:Put the wrapped zongzi into the pot and cover it. After boiling in hot water, turn the small fire and cook slowly for 2-3 hours. When the time is up, turn off the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Take it out and let it cool, then you can eat it.
Cooking tips:Don't eat Zongzi while it's hot after it's cooked. It will be more sticky and stronger when it's cool for a while. PS - some friends say that the dumplings cooked are better and save more time. They can use the method of cooking. They have skills in making delicious dishes.
