750 grams of glutinous rice

Appropriate amount of edible alkali

Proper amount of zongzi leaves

Appropriate amount of cotton thread

The practice of alkaline zongzi

Soak the leaves of 1 for one day or one night, wash them, put them in a pot, cook for about 5 minutes, pick them up and soak them in cold water for later use, and soak the glutinous rice for about 4 hours after washing.

2 After the glutinous rice is soaked, drain the water and put it back in the basin. Add about 65,438+0/4-65,438+0/2 tablespoons of edible alkali, because there is water on the rice, so the alkali will melt quickly. Stir well immediately after putting it in, and pay more attention to stirring to make the edible alkali melt evenly. After stirring, let it stand for about an hour, so that the alkali can be completely integrated into the rice.

3. Cut off a little of the stem of Zongzi leaf, turn it into a cone counterclockwise from the stem to the tip of the leaf, and fold one side of the stem inside the tip of the leaf.

Dip the soaked glutinous rice into the awl with alkali until nine points are full, and then poke it gently with chopsticks.

Cover the upper leaves and form a triangle with the tiger's mouth. At this point, the leaves are facing the corner of the triangle in the tiger's mouth.

Turn the leaves counterclockwise to one side of the triangle (hint: I am left-handed)

7 finally tie it with cotton thread (cotton thread should be tied for more than two laps)

Wrap all the zongzi in the above way.

9. Put zongzi in the pot. After the water is boiled, the fire in Guanzhong is about 1 hour. Put it in a stewing pot for about 4 hours and then take it out.
