How to make rice dumplings easily and quickly?

1. How to make rice dumplings with simple steps:

(1) Put the rice dumpling leaves in the pot and cook for about 7 minutes. One is to sterilize and disinfect, and the other is to prevent the rice dumpling leaves from cracking and make the rice dumpling leaves stronger.

(2) After cooking the rice dumpling leaves, take them out and wash them. After washing, soak them in cold water to prevent the leaves from drying out.

(3) Wash the prepared glutinous rice. (There is no fixed amount, prepare as much glutinous rice as you want to make.) If you don’t like white rice dumplings, you can prepare other ingredients according to your preference and put them in when making rice dumplings.

(4) Prepare a strong rope and tie it to a convenient place (such as a chair, table, etc.).

(5) Take out the rice dumpling leaves and put them in a large container. Then pick up two parallel rice dumpling leaves and wrap them into a triangle. (Be sure to make sure that the tips of the triangles formed by the rice dumpling leaves cannot leak rice, otherwise they will fall apart during cooking.) Put the prepared glutinous rice into the triangle, ( If you want to add other ingredients, add them along with the glutinous rice) and start wrapping according to the method of making rice dumplings. After wrapping, tie the zongzi to the rope you just prepared.

2. Methods and steps for making rice dumplings:

(1) Put two rice dumpling leaves together, arrange the upper left and lower right sides of the rice dumpling leaves into a larger one, use scissors to cut the root Cut it neatly and fold it into a funnel, paying attention to pinch the junction of the funnel;

(2) First put a layer of glutinous rice in the funnel, then add a layer of meat and mushrooms, and finally add a layer of glutinous rice ;

(3) After the funnel is filled with rice, fold off the rice dumpling leaves on top and wrap the rice dumplings tightly on the principle that no rice will leak;

(4) Use the prepared rice dumplings Tie the rice dumplings tightly with cotton thread, so that the rice dumplings are wrapped well.

(5) Boil the rice dumplings in the pot. The meat rice dumplings should be put in after the water boils. For candied dates, cold water can be put in the pot. After the water boils, switch to medium heat and continue cooking for about two hours. If the glutinous rice is not sticky, you can cook it for a while. I used a pressure cooker to cook it for an hour.

(6) Store the cooked rice dumplings in the refrigerator and they will still be as fresh as ever after three days.

2. Precautions for making rice dumplings:

1. When choosing rice dumpling leaves, pay attention to distinguish between normal rice dumpling leaves and green rice dumpling leaves. Normal rice dumpling leaves have a natural color and no smell. There is a peculiar smell. The water used to cook the rice dumplings is brownish-yellow, while the green rice dumpling leaves are brightly colored and smell like medicinal liquid. The water used to cook the rice dumplings is green.

2. Wash the rice dumpling leaves and rope first, then soak them in water for about 1 hour. This is clean and hygienic, and the rice dumpling leaves are not easy to break.

3. When wrapping rice dumplings, you must use straw rope or cotton thread. Plastic glass ropes must not be used, because rice dumplings tied with plastic glass ropes will produce harmful substances to the human body after being cooked at high temperatures.

4. Do not use too much force to tie the rice dumplings with straw rope or cotton thread. For example, when making rice dumplings with red bean paste, using too much force will cause the rice grains to enter the red bean filling, causing the rice grains in the rice dumpling filling to be cooked half-cooked. Therefore, when making zongzi, you must pay attention to the skill. If you use lean pork, tie it tightly, because the lean meat will shrink when cooked, and the fat juice of the rice dumpling filling will leak into the water.

5. Seasoning of rice dumpling fillings: To make bacon rice dumplings, mix fresh pork with a little MSG, sugar, wine, salt, and light soy sauce and rub it repeatedly until the seasonings penetrate into the pork before wrapping.

6. When cooking rice dumplings, the water must boil before dropping the rice dumplings. The water must soak the rice dumpling noodles. After boiling again, cook over high heat for about 3 hours.
