1, generally, the rice next to the candied dates is not cooked, and the candied dates absorb a large part of heat and water, so they are sandwich. In this way, you need to soak the rice for one night until it becomes soft, and then soak the candied dates for about 5 minutes to make it fully absorb water. After this treatment, zongzi will not be caught.

2. In the process of making candied dates, it is likely that "insurance powder" was added to control the color of candied dates, or some additives were added to ensure the color of candied dates. Additives on candied dates are not easy to boil, and there are additives after rice comes into contact with candied dates, so candied dates should be washed and soaked before adding zongzi.

When wrapping zongzi, don't wrap the leaves of zongzi too tightly. If it is wrapped too tightly, the heat will not reach the inside of the zongzi, and the zongzi will be caught. Pay attention to the heat and time when cooking zongzi. Cook over medium heat for about 6 hours. Pay attention to the cooking time is too short, it is easy to be caught, and the leaves are easy to cook when the heat is too high, so control the heat.
