Soak the mushrooms until they are soft, and then cut them into cubes. Cook the duck egg yolk and cut it into small pieces. Mix the marinated pork, mushrooms and duck egg yolk together and stir well.
Wrap zongzi
Take a leaf of zongzi, fold it into a triangle, and turn one end of the leaf inward to form a small mouth.
