Gently compact by hand to make the shape of zongzi more compact.

Step 9: cook zongzi

Put the prepared zongzi into a large pot, add enough water, and the water level is higher than the zongzi.

After the fire is boiled, use medium and small fire to continue cooking 1.5-2 hours until the zongzi is soft and cooked.
