I don't know what's going on. Yesterday, several friends in my circle of friends made zongzi as if they had an appointment.
What is unbearable is that almost at the same time, they all sent zongzi to their circle of friends, and I don't know how many people were "harmed".
To my surprise, why did you start making zongzi?
So I took a quick look at the calendar. There is still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival, and these people can't wait to start the festival ahead of time.
The Dragon Boat Festival in Guangxi has its unique opening way, in which dumplings are essential, but there are also other special snacks, which are also pleasant and delicious.
Let's see what zongzi and special snacks Guangxi people have on Dragon Boat Festival. Is there anything you like?
1. Mung bean pork belly zongzi.
Wrapping zongzi with mung beans and pork belly is a very classic way to eat in my hometown.
Cut pork belly into long strips, add ginger, rice wine, fermented bean curd, thirteen spices and soy sauce and marinate for one hour. Soak mung beans for one night after peeling, and take them out the next day to control water.
Soak glutinous rice in hot water for two or three hours to remove water, and you can prepare jiaozi.
Usually, Hiragi leaves are used to wrap bulging zongzi.
It has a large leaf area, so you can put a lot of materials in it. Jiaozi can be shared by several people and is suitable for large families.
The wrapped dumplings have to be boiled for more than ten hours, and the taste is the best.
The best time for Guangxi people to eat zongzi is to eat the first cooked zongzi.
The first zongzi, steaming, wafted out the fragrance of Hiragi leaves, mung beans and pork belly, which made people intoxicated.
2. Zongzi with no stuffing but special taste.
This kind of zongzi is called grey water zongzi in Guangxi. It has no stuffing, but it tastes very special. It has a faint fragrance and is eaten with white sugar. It's amazing that the two flavors can be perfectly combined.
The magic of this kind of zongzi lies in "grey water", which is the water obtained by taking the ash from burning firewood and filtering it with boiling water.
The glutinous rice soaked in this gray water is pale yellow, and the color will be bright yellow after being wrapped in zongzi and cooked.
Grey water jiaozi tastes soft and smooth, and it tastes sweeter when dipped in white sugar. At the same time, they are very cool and appetizing, suitable for all ages.
After talking about two delicious zongzi, let's see what other special snacks are there.
1. Ai Yeqing Group.
It is the season when mugwort leaves flourish. It is a perennial habit of Guangxi people to insert and eat mugwort leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival.
It's not the Dragon Boat Festival yet, and people can't wait to taste their own Ai Yeqing Tuan at home.
Mixed with glutinous rice and wormwood leaves, the green ball not only has high value, but also has the fragrance of wormwood leaves.
A layer of glutinous rice dough is wrapped with stuffing made of sesame, sugar and peanuts. After a soft waxy smell, it is sweet, not to mention how satisfying it is.
2. white.
This Ciba is made without mugwort leaves, and it is also very popular in Guangxi.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, people who don't make mugwort cakes will make this kind of white cake.
Although it is also made of glutinous rice flour, it is not quite the same as Ai Ye Qing Tuan.
Bai Zanba likes to use bean powder, sugar and peanuts as stuffing, and it is also a particularly fragrant snack suitable for all ages.
3. Black bean jelly.
Guangxi people like to eat bean jelly on the Dragon Boat Festival. This bean jelly is black, which is different from the white ice powder on the market.
Black bean jelly has a clear fragrance, which comes from a kind of grass that makes it. We call it Mesona blume.
The bean jelly made of Mesona blume and grey water tastes better when eaten in sugar water.
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is very hot, so people like to eat bean jelly.
The black bean jelly with bean jelly fragrance can not only clear away heat and toxic materials, but also quench thirst and relieve summer heat, which is very pleasant to body and mind.
Conclusion: Well, let's share it here today. Guangxi people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in different ways, not only with different tastes of zongzi, but also with different snacks. I wonder which one do you like best?
