Zongzi is a special traditional food. On holidays, people like to wrap jiaozi as holiday food. However, many people find that zongzi will stick to its leaves after being cooked. What is the reason why zongzi sticks to the leaves of zongzi? Let's get to know each other.
0 1 Zongzi is made of glutinous rice, which itself is sticky. When heated in water, the amylopectin in it is very sticky. If the dumplings are cooked too soft, the water content of the dumplings is high, and it is easy to stick to the leaves of the dumplings when eating.
Cooking zongzi is the key. Spread a few zongzi leaves on the bottom of the pot, arrange the wrapped zongzi on the zongzi leaves and put cold water on them. Cook for half an hour with low fire, and then cook with high fire until zongzi becomes soft. There is almost no water in the middle. Remember to heat water, not cold water.
03 processing method of zongzi leaves:
1, put water in the pot to boil.
2. After the water is boiled, put in a catty of Zongye, twist a little alkaline noodles with three fingers, and pour a spoonful of sesame oil. The alkaline surface can soften and sterilize, and the leaves of Zongzi are bright in color. The key is to pour a spoonful of sesame oil and the leaves will be smooth.
3. If you cook for a quarter of an hour on a big fire, the hardened fibers in the leaves of Zongzi will soften under the impact of hot air and water.
Don't turn the leaves with chopsticks, it will spoil the leaves. Use Xiao Mu to turn over the books. Don't take it out, turn off the torch and put the straw rope (the one who sticks zongzi) into the pot where the leaves of zongzi are cooked. Let it cool for later use.
Zongzi leaves can be directly scalded besides cooking. After the water in the pot is boiled, turn off the fire directly and scald the leaves with boiling water for about 5 minutes. When scalding leaves with boiling water, if there are many leaves, turn the leaves properly with chopsticks so that both sides of the leaves are scalded to avoid incomplete sterilization.
Because the bought zongzi leaves are dry and crisp, they need to be soaked in water for cleaning, so that not only the zongzi leaves become tough but also clean. Because you need to clean up one by one, you need patience. After cleaning, soak in cold water for one night.
