1. Buy some dried zongzi leaves, select zongzi leaves that are intact and odorless, and pick out unqualified zongzi leaves, and wash each zongzi leaf.

2. Wash the leaves, cut off the petiole, prepare a pot of water and soak it in the leaves. The leaves are relatively light, they will float, and they will not be soaked thoroughly. They should be held down with heavy objects, such as stones. Soaking allows the leaves of Zongzi to fully absorb water, become soft and enhance toughness, so it is not easy to break. Soak for at least 12 hours.

3. How to cook the leaves after they become soft? Cold water or boiled water? Many people make mistakes, so the toughness of zongzi leaves is poor. Remove the zongzi leaves, wash them, pour a proper amount of water into the pot, bring them to a boil over high fire, add a spoonful of salt, and add the zongzi leaves to cook for 10 minute.

4. After the leaves are cooked, soak them in cold water to cool down, and then you can wrap jiaozi. After this treatment, the leaves of zongzi are green in color, soft in texture and strong in toughness. Zongzi is more fragrant and does not break or leak rice.
