Zongzi made with sappan must be washed, because sappan is a Chinese medicinal material and the dust and impurities on the surface need to be washed away. The following is a simple production step:

1. Prepare ingredients: 500 grams of glutinous rice, a small amount of sappan wood, some rice dumpling leaves, and some rice dumpling ropes.

2. Wash the glutinous rice, add water and 10 grams of edible alkali and soak it overnight. If it is hot, put it in the refrigerator.

3. Wash the rice dumpling leaves and rope, boil and soak for half an hour to soften.

4. Take two rice dumpling leaves, back to back, and roll them into an ice cream cone.

5. Put two spoons of glutinous rice and press it tightly. Place a piece of sapphire wood and bury it in the glutinous rice.

6. Continue to add glutinous rice and press it tightly.

7. When wrapping, you can put less rice for newbies and try not to leak any rice.

8. Tie the five flowers together and tie them into a knot.

9. After wrapping, take a photo.

10. Put all the rice dumplings in the pot, add water to cover the rice dumplings, and select the "bean/tendon" program. It will be ready in about 40 minutes. It will be more delicious if you simmer it for a few hours.

The above are the steps and precautions for making sapphire rice dumplings. I hope this information will be helpful to you.
