It takes about 8- 10 hours to wrap jiaozi and red dates. Jujube wrapped in zongzi can be soaked or not, but it is recommended to soak it in advance to taste better.

But be careful not to soak for too long. If the time is too long, the taste of red dates will fade. In addition, if you add candied dates instead of red dates, you don't need to soak them in advance, just steam the candied dates and remove the core.
If it is wet candied dates, it is generally not necessary to soak in water, and it can be directly used to wrap zongzi. If it's dried candied dates, it's better to soak the jiaozi in advance for a better taste before wrapping the candied dates, so that it's easier to steam and soften it, and then peel it while it's hot.

Third, cooking zongzi is a test of skills. More rice is soft, less taste. People who have eaten it will know its charm and the particularly delicious food in its mouth.
