I got up early today, because today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I want to eat sweet and delicious rice dumplings again.
I suddenly heard movement outside the door and listened carefully: "Xuanxuan, I bought glutinous rice and red dates. You can find your good friend Meichi to make rice dumplings together." I just heard "Dong Dong! Dong "Boom!" I opened the door and it was so exciting that after we hugged each other, we were ready to make rice dumplings.
I have been looking forward to eating the rice dumplings made by myself since I was a child, and today I got my wish. I turned the bowl of glutinous rice upside down on the chopping board and gently picked up the bowl. A bowl-shaped rice ball appeared upright in front of my eyes. I held the rice ball in my hand and kept rotating it on the chopping board. I cut the rice ball into triangles, and pressed down the shining red dates one by one on each triangle. Also sprinkled with sugar on top. Then we meticulously wrapped the fresh seaweed on it, and finally wrapped it with string. Zongzi babies wearing seaweed were born one after another! Look at Yang Yixuan again, she actually made diamond-shaped rice dumplings, so creative!
Ten minutes later, I opened the lid of the pot and the aroma filled my heart and mind. The various shapes of rice dumplings made people salivate. I couldn’t wait to take one and took a bite desperately. There were pieces of glutinous rice and big red dates. "Ah, it smells so good!" I couldn't help but admire. I ate several in a row, and the sweet rice dumplings made me have endless aftertaste.
I had a happy Dragon Boat Festival today.
