Everyday dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, jiaozi, moon cakes, etc. can all be made with clay colors.
Zongzi is the festival food of Dragon Boat Festival. You can make a cartoon Zongzi with clay colors. First make a triangle with white mud, and brush the rough surface with waste toothbrush. Make a ball with green mud, press out irregular strips and draw lines. This is zongye.
wrapping zongzi meat with zongzi leaves is like wearing a dress. In order to increase the cuteness, you can add eyes and red cheeks.
Another way to make zongzi is to make the leaves of zongzi with black colored mud, make the black colored mud into a rectangle, and then put the zongzi meat on it like this. Add eyes and mouth, and the lovely seaweed zongzi is finished.
Making moon cakes with colored mud can confuse the real with the fake. Pink mud is used to make strawberry stuffing of moon cakes, and light yellow mud is used as the dough of moon cakes. Pink, light yellow mud is made into a disc, and then a strip is made with light yellow color.
Sandwich the pink disc with a light yellow disc, wrap the side with a light yellow strip, cut off the excess, press the side with a tool to make vertical lines, and poke a lot of dots on the front and back sides of the moon cake.
Cut the moon cake to expose the stuffing inside. Poke the exposed stuffing to make the grain more realistic, which is a strawberry-filled moon cake.
