Finally, clean up the leaves, cut off the stems at both ends, and you can wrap jiaozi.

What should I do with the Zongye I bought?

If you want to deal with the leaves bought from outside, you must first soak them in clear water for a day. At this time, if the leaves are already soft, you can cut off the stems at both ends with scissors. If they are not soft enough, you can cut them last.

After the leaves of zongzi are soaked, we need to cook them in salt water for five to ten minutes. Doing so can make the leaves of Zongzi soft and easier to operate, and at the same time, it can make the leaves of Zongzi more elastic, which is not easy to be damaged when wrapping and cooking Zongzi, and it still has a fresh fragrance after cooking.

Finally, take the leaves out of the hot water, let them cool, and then wash them in water. At this time, the leaves of zongzi are soft and easy to bend. We can wrap glutinous rice with it according to our favorite method, then wrap it with cotton rope and cook it in hot water.
