Guangdong-flavored steamed dumplings are huge in size and rich in content, each weighing about 3 kg. The materials include glutinous rice, Jinhua ham, barbecued pork, pork belly, salted egg yolk, chestnuts, mushrooms, dried shrimps and mung bean kernels, so a steamed dumpling has more than 1000 calories, so it is necessary for several people to share it to avoid excessive consumption.
Huzhou Zongzi with Zhejiang flavor mostly grows into strips with sweet and salty tastes. The salty one is fresh meat Zongzi, which is made of glutinous rice and pork belly, and one has about 400 calories. However, due to the high proportion of fat meat, it is not suitable for chronic patients who should avoid eating fat meat and high fat. Most of the sweet dumplings are sweet dumplings with bean paste or jujube paste, and one has about 600~800 calories. Because of the high proportion of sugar and oil in the sweet stuffing, it is not suitable for diabetics.
For ordinary people, Taiwan Province meat dumplings can be divided into northern dumplings and southern dumplings. In the northern dumplings, glutinous rice is fried first, and then steamed with pork, mushrooms, dried shrimps, salted egg yolk and other ingredients in bamboo leaves, which is a bit like fried rice. A 400-gram roasted meat dumpling is equivalent to 400-500 calories, and has a strong taste and fragrance. As for the southern rice dumplings, raw glutinous rice is mixed with peanuts, and the materials are pork, bamboo leaves, mushrooms, peanuts, chestnuts, shrimps, dried squid, salted egg yolks, glutinous rice, etc., which are wrapped in peach leaves and then cooked in water. Because there is less material and glutinous rice is not fried in oil, the heat is lower than that of the northern rice dumplings, and the taste and fragrance are lighter.
However, since most southern zongzi will be sprinkled with peanut powder and sauce before eating, the peanuts in zongzi and the peanut powder in the ingredients belong to oils and fats, so people who need to limit oils and fats should pay special attention; As for naked dumplings, because of their small size, the stuffing has a low calorie, about 250 calories each; Because of its small size, alkaline rice dumplings have less than 200 calories each, but if they are eaten with sugar, the calories will increase.
The heat of zongzi
The heat of zongzi varies according to its size and content. Each heat of "meat zongzi" is about 450 to 600 calories, while that of desktop zongzi is 385 to 67 1 calorie, with an average of 495 calories, while that of Huzhou Zongzi is 400 to 520 calories, with an average of 459 calories. Of course, the content of meat zongzi also directly affects its heat.
When making zongzi, it's best to use materials that meet the requirements of "three less and one more" (oil, less alkali, less sugar and more fiber), and use less seasoning, or try to replace pork belly with leg meat or konjac, replace egg yolk with chestnut, add carrots for color matching, and increase the fiber quality of zongzi, or mix glutinous rice with ordinary rice to increase the fiber quality of zongzi;
In addition, when making bean paste zongzi, it is suggested to replace lard with vegetable oil, which can reduce the heat of zongzi. The heat of naked zongzi is less than that of ordinary zongzi, and each heat contains about 2 10 to 250 calories; Because of its small size, the relative heat of alkaline zongzi is relatively small. The heat of alkaline zongzi is about 100 to 120 calories before being stained with sugar, and it contains 120 to 150 calories after being stained with sugar. "Dousha Zongzi" contains about 500 to 600 calories each, which is one of the best in the Zongzi kingdom. Except for the high content of sugar or sucrose, Dousha Zongzi is mostly fried with lard, so the calories increase a lot.
