Prepare rope: choose a long enough string or straw rope, which is about two or three times the circumference of zongzi.
Fix one end of the rope: Pass one end of the rope around the bottom of the zongzi, leaving a short tail, and then fix it at the bottom of the zongzi.

Rope winding: Start winding the remaining rope around the bottom of Zongzi, with moderate force each time to ensure the package is firm. Leave a certain space between each circle, so as to leave a gap when binding in the future.
Fix the end of the rope: When the rope is wrapped around the top of the zongzi, the end will be wrapped with a layer of rope, then pass through the gap left in front and then tighten. This can ensure that the end of the rope is fixed on the zongzi and will not come loose.
Tie the rope: at the top of the zongzi, wrap the rope around the zongzi with another short rope or a piece of original rope. You can choose to use simple knots, such as double knots, bows or fixed knots. Make sure the binding is firm and leave a short tail.
Through the above steps, you can tie the zongzi rope simply and firmly. In the process of binding, we should pay attention to moderation, not only to ensure the firmness, but also to avoid crushing or deformation of zongzi. Of course, practice is the best way. After many attempts, you will become more and more proficient. I wish you success in making zongzi!
