1. Pick out the broken leaves from the bought dried zongzi leaves, and then cut off the handles of the leaves with scissors. 2. Soak the sun-dried leaves in clear water for one night to make the leaves stretch more and absorb enough water. 3. Boil a pot of boiling water in the pot. After the water boils, put the leaves in, cook for three minutes, and then pour the cooked leaves with cold water. 4. Next, you can keep jiaozi. Jiaozi is wrapped in the same way as fresh leaves.

The leaves wrapped in zongzi are zongzi leaves. When washing zongzi leaves, you can use a quick and clean cloth, from the head of zongzi leaves to the tip and tail of zongzi leaves. The friction is small, which makes the washing closer to the zongzi leaves and cleaner. If you wash from the tip and tail of zongzi leaves, the friction will be great and it will be difficult to wash.

What should I do if the dried zongzi leaves crack easily?

When zongzi is boiled in boiling water, you can add a little alkali to cook it together. Put zongzi in cold water, add cold water and alkali, and cook slowly for about 3 minutes, so that the fibers of zongzi can be slowly dispersed in hot water to increase elasticity, so that it is not easy to crack when wrapping zongzi.

Benefits of wrapping zongzi with dried zongzi leaves

Dried zongzi leaves have a fragrance that fresh zongzi leaves don't have. Zongzi leaves wrapped in zongzi have a stronger fragrance. After the leaves of rice dumplings are dried, the fragrance and original flavor of bamboo leaves will be "locked" in the leaves of rice dumplings, so the fragrance and original flavor of bamboo leaves can penetrate into rice dumplings more, and the cooked rice dumplings are more fragrant.
