Because I haven't been at home in college in recent years, I go to the supermarket to buy zongzi every Dragon Boat Festival, and then take it back to the dormitory to cook. Although it doesn't smell like home, I'm still very happy. Zongzi is wrapped in zongzi leaves, and then it is sticky with glutinous rice, which can wrap all kinds of fillings.
There are all kinds of zongzi. My favorite taste is zongzi stuffed with red beans, because I think red beans are delicious. Some red beans are not cooked too badly, and they will be a little hard to chew in your mouth, but they are fun and chewy.
Jiaozi with candied dates is also delicious. The candied dates in it are really sweet. The candied dates usually sold in supermarkets can be eaten directly. I always eat candied dates directly from the supermarket, but the candied dates in jiaozi taste different, because they are steamed with glutinous rice and sticky. Suddenly, I feel that the candied dates here are different from those sold in the supermarket and sweeter.
I have also eaten zongzi with chestnut flavor. It's really super sweet, because if I meet fried chestnuts on the street, I must buy them. It is delicious. I thought that the chestnut-flavored zongzi would not be delicious, but it was ok after eating, and it was really delicious when I ate it for the second time. Chestnuts are already soft in zongzi. I think chestnuts have been blended with glutinous rice. The thick taste of chestnuts has penetrated into glutinous rice, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Personally, I don't like salty zongzi, such as fresh meat zongzi. Some people say this is our traditional zongzi, but we really don't have it here! Maybe this kind of fresh meat zongzi is really popular in some places. I really can't stand greasy meat into glutinous rice. Very oily. I feel sick at the smell. Last time, the students in our dormitory brought back several packages of fresh meat zongzi, which was given by an experimental teacher. I'm sorry not!
Then we cooked it in a small pot in the dormitory. Before cooking, I said that one person eats two zongzi. As a result, he couldn't bear to eat one after it was done. He's going to throw up. The smell of real meat permeates our whole dormitory, which is terrible and not delicious. This shows that I'm not the only one who doesn't like this taste of zongzi.
And egg yolk zongzi, which is not delicious. Although it is duck egg yolk and looks delicious with oil, it tastes bad after eating it. I think eating this duck egg yolk is disgusting.
